October 2 is the feast of the Guardian Angels. How comforting it is to know that we each have an angel that guards us! Psalm 91:11 says, "For to His angels He has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways." As a parent, I’m especially comforted knowing that an angel watches over my little one. In Matthew 18:10, Jesus tells his disciples, "See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."
We say the Guardian Angel prayer every night before our daughter goes to bed:
Angel of God, my guardian dear
To whom His love entrusts me here
Ever this day be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide
May you find comfort in knowing that an angel watches over you.

Especially appreciate the reminder that my children have their very own guardian angels!
Found you blog through Catholic Moms...caught my eye cause we live in TX too! :-)
What a beautiful bedtime prayer, I'll have to remember this one and say it with my little ones.
Thanks for stopping by everyone!
Melissa - It sounds like we both have two-year-olds. :)
Have a blessed day!
