If you preserve at least a small part of your child-like purity, a small part of your innocence, you will always hear the voice of your angel, guiding you through the vicissitudes of this life to a better place in Christian society, to a better community of people. You will feel the protection of God and your soul will be free from fear, uncertainty and doubt; and you will have the courage to face injustice, to love your neighbor and even your enemy. You will walk in the fight of God. Sometimes you can see your guardian angel. On the right side of your head you can see a light, a special fight, which is not like the sun’s fight or the fight of a lamp. It is a sweet light, something spiritual, coming from above and bringing you spiritual joy. You must understand by this that your angel is there and tries to communicate with you. Say a prayer; purify your heart and mind; and remember that you have a friend who will never abandon you, even during those times when you are sinning.
