Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.

Who knows but life be that which men call death, And death what men call life.

Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen, both when we wake and when we sleep.

So great is the power of angels in the spiritual world that, if I should make known all that I have witnessed in regard to it, it would exceed belief. Any obstruction there that ought to be removed because it is contrary to Divine order the angels cast down or overthrow merely by an effort of the will and a look,

And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I!

The highest ranks (cherubin, seraphin, thrones)do not join in our struggle against our vices, but dwell with us only when, above all conflict, we are with God in peace, in contemplation, and in perennial love.

It is said, and it is true, that just before we are born a cavern angel puts his finger to our lips and says, "Hush don't tell what you know." This is why we are born with a cleft on our upper lips and remembering nothing of where we came from.

Thirty percent of the Americans who do believe in afterlife say they have been in contact with the dead.

Keep watch, Dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous and all for your love's sake.

Who if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies? and even if one of them pressed me suddenly against his heart; I would be consumed in that overwhelming existence.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our lifes Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come...

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, Ever this day be at my side to light, and guard, to rule and guide" Amen...

~~THE PINK DRESS~~

There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad.

Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak; she never said a word. Many people passed, but no one would stop. The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the little girl would still be there.

Yes, she was there, right in the very spot as she was yesterday, and still with the sad look in her eyes. Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.

As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress was obscenely shaped. I figured that was the reason people just passed by and made no effort to help. Deformities are a low blow to our society and, heaven forbid, if you make a step toward assisting someone who is different. As I got even closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the obscene shape of her back more clearly. She was grotesquely shaped in a humped-over form.

I smiled to let her know it was okay, I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple hello. The little girl acted shocked and stammered a "hi," after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said, "Because I'm different."

I immediately said, "That you are!" and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder and said, "I know."

Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet innocent."

She looked at me and smiled. Slowly she got to her feet and said, "Really". "Yes, you're like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by."

She nodded her head yes and smiled. With that she spread her wings and said, "I am. I'm your guardian angel," with a twinkle in her eye.

I was speechless, sure I was seeing things. She said, "For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here is done."

I got to my feet and said, "Wait, So why did no one stop to help an angel?"

She looked at me and smiled, "You're the only one that could see me," and then she was gone.

And with that, my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you.

Like the story says, we all need someone. Every one of your friends is an angel in their own way. The value of a friend is measured in the heart.
