ANGELS ....
Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked
God: "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I
going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God answered:" Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be
waiting for you and will take care of you."
"But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and
smile, that's enough for me to be happy. And how am I going to able to
understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?"
God gently explained: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and
sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you Lord?"
"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
Fearfully the child asked "I've heard that on earth there are bad men,
who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its own life."
"But God, I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way
for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God,
if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name!"
To which God replied, "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will
simply call her MOMMY."
