“These are thy glorious works Parent of Good, Almighty, thine this universal Frame, Thus wondrous fair; thy self how wondrous then!

“The parents always insisted on telling their child that their secret friends didn't exist - perhaps because they had forgotten that they too had spoken to their angel at one time. Or, who knows, perhaps they thought they lived in a world where there was no longer any place for angels.” KnowsWorldChildrenParentSecretAngelForgottenOne Time Author:Paulo Coelho
“We need to remember the purpose of our service to one another. If it were only to accomplish some part of His work, God could dispatch 'legions of angels.' . . .

“When I was little, I went to a Catholic school and was required to go to church every morning and with my parents on Sundays, so I spent a lot of time sitting on a wooden pew. Angels are sort of a relief. If you're looking around, the other imagery is so dark and heavy. Looking at the beautifully rendered pictures of angels was more uplifting.” IfsLittlesSchoolParentChurchDarkMorningSittingAngelCatholicHeavyUpliftingReliefSundayEvery MorningImageryCatholic School Author:Danielle Trussoni
“Any father…must finally give his child up to the wilderness and trust to the providence of God. It seems almost a cruelty for one generation to beget another when parents can secure so little for their children, so little safety, even in the best circumstances. Great faith is required to give the child up, trusting God to honor the parents’ love for him by assuring that there will indeed be angels in that wilderness.” GivingChildrenLittlesSeemsFatherParentGenerationsHonorCircumstancesAngelSafetyCrueltySecureWildernessTrust In GodProvidenceBegetsGreat FaithParents Love Author:Marilynne Robinson
