Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.~St. John Vianney   The "Friends of the Angels" mission is to spread devotion to the Holy Angels especially our own Guardian Angel and prays a short set of prayers during the morning to honor our Guardian Angel and a small prayer whenever you are called to throughout the day to honor all the Holy Angels present around you.  

"Take courage and pray; your guardian angel will also pray for you, and your prayers will be answered."- Saint John Bosco

Beside each believer stands an Angel as protector and shepherd, leading him to life.-St. Basil the Great
See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. ~Exodus 23:20-22

"The servants of Christ are protected by invisible, rather than visible, beings. But if these guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayer." -- St. Ambrose.

"When tempted, invoke your angel. He is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him; he trembles and flees at the sight of your guardian angel."- Saint John Bosco

"Be good. This will make your angel happy. When sorrows and misfortunes, physical or spiritual, afflict you, turn to your guardian angel with strong trust and he will help you."- Saint John Bosco

The Angels take great pleasure in helping us with our enterprises, when they are in accordance with God's will.~St. John Vianney 

The Holy Angels seek in every possible way to share with us this immense ocean of love and happiness which they themselves enjoy.  Their generosity knows no bounds.  This is a truth that we must do our best to understand fully and clearly.  Were a rich man to say to us, “Ask me for everything you wish and I will most readily give it to you,” how happy we should be!  Certainly we would not hesitate to ask for all we need. This is exactly what the Angels say to us: “Ask us and we will give you a share of all our treasures, all our graces, all our happiness, and we will give you some of all we have.”  Their goodness and generosity are immense…If only we knew them better and loved them more, and were more docile to their constant whisperings, our happiness would be unspeakably great.   

If we but say, “Holy Angels here present, I honor and love you and give thanks to God for all the glory He has given you.” Every one of these hundreds of Angels will hear and receive with pleasure our greeting and will repay us with a special mark of friendship, for the Angels never do things by halves.  They are not like us, poor mortals, they never forget and they never grow cold.  When once they are our friends, they are our friends forever.   

We can also give them immense pleasure by offering mass or our good works in their honor and thanking God for all the beauty and holiness and glory that He has given them.  If we do so, they will repay us a thousand times over."  Extracted from "All About the Angels" by Father Paul O'Sullivan Tan Books 

So to join the Friends of the Angels all you have to do is sign up and agree to pray these prayers in the morning.  
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.  Holy Angels present throughout the world, I honor and love you and thank God for all the glory you have received.
and Seven Glory Be’s
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you, save souls and take care of everything especially the intentions of the Friends of the Angels as well as mine and that the whole world joins us.  Holy Angels present throughout the world, I honor and love you and thank God for all the graces you have received. Amen

I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through Saint Joseph. ~St Teresa of Avila

The Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph are men and women who seek to deepen their devotion to Saint Joseph through a few simple prayers to him everyday. Also by meditating on his simple, yet powerful life that now continues into eternity.  

Here is the inspiration for the formation from the Diary of Saint Faustina:  
Saint Joseph urged me to have a constant devotion to him. He himself told me to recite three prayers [the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be and the Memorare once every day. He looked at me with great kindness and gave me to know how much he is supporting this work [of mercy]. He has promised me this special help and protection. I recite the requested prayers every day and feel his special protection.~Diary of Saint Faustina 1203 


Here is the Memorare: 
Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help and sought your intercession were left unassisted.
 Full of confidence in your power I fly unto you and beg your protection.
 Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me. Amen.


Here is the Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph Prayer: 
St. Joseph, Please adopt us as your sons and daughters. Teach us how to love as you taught your foster son, Jesus how to love. Teach us how to pray as you taught Jesus how to pray. Teach us how to work as you taught Jesus how to work. Love us as you love Jesus. Work for us as you work for Jesus. Protect us as you protected Jesus. St. Joseph as a sign of your adoption we pray for all our members' intentions and mine (your intentions). We ask this all in the Name of Jesus. Amen. 
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you, Save Souls, take care of everything and that the whole world joins us! Amen

So you will pray Everyday: 
An Our Father, A Hail Mary, and a Glory be, the Memorare and the Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph prayer.  
Takes 2 Minutes A Day. 

​Also carry with you a medal of Saint Joseph at all times! 
“Indeed one must have faith to rub oneself with a medal…Always hold a medal of St. Joseph in your hand when making a request, having an interview, or transacting an important affair. Holding a medal in one’s hand makes one think more of St. Joseph than wearing it.”-Saint André Bessett

I use this Screen Background on my computer at work so that I have a triple blessing and huge graces while I am writing this for you and doing my daily work.  I have the screen background above and I make my usable portion such as when I write this below it.  So I come up to Jesus' chin with my open links.  Above me, Lord and Saviour is looking down upon me in four different forms and one of Our Lady.  I have enclosed the promises of those who look upon the images below.  You are welcome to copy the image and use on your own screen background.  God Bless you, your brother, Brian 

DIVINE MERCY IMAGE PROMISES


Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory (Diary, 47, 48). I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You (327). I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47). 

The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him (299). By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works (742). 


HOLY FACE PROMISES

"Every time My Face is contemplated I will pour out My Love into the hearts of those persons, and by means of My Holy Face the salvation of many souls will be obtained." 
(Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina)

Our Lord told Sister Mary of Saint Peter,
1. All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God.
2. Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this Work of Reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.
3. By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.
4. By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God, and draw down mercy on sinners.
5. As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face.
6.Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.
7.They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven.
8. I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.

BLESSED SACRAMENT PROMISES

"Mostly [St.] Bernadette's thoughts were fixed beyond this earth. 'During her long nights,' reported Canon Perreau, 'she used to say the Rosary.' At other times she placed herself as it were in adoration before the Tabernacle. On her curtains had been fastened the picture of a monstrance. 'I am happy in my sleepless hours,' she confided to Mother Audidier, 'uniting myself with our Lord. One glance at this picture gives me the longing and strength to immolate myself, when I am feeling my loneliness and my pains.'"
- Saint Bernadette Soubirous, Francis Trochu

"Wherever I may be I will often think of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I will fill my thoughts with the holy tabernacle (even when I happen to wake up at night) adoring Him from where I am, calling to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, offering up to Him the action in which I am engaged. I will install one telegraph cable from my study to the Church, another from my bedroom, and a third from our refectory; and as often as I can, I will send messages of love to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
- Andrew Beltrami

"The daily adoration or visit to the Blessed Sacrament is the practice which is the fountainhead of all devotional works"
- Pope St. Pius X


When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then, when you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now."
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
- St. Padre Pio

"Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often. Do you want to conquer the devil? Take refuge often at the feet of Jesus. Do you want to be conquered by the devil? Forget about visiting Jesus. My dear ones, the visit to the Blessed Sacrament is an extremely necessary way to conquer the devil. Therefore, go often to visit Jesus and the devil will not come out victorious against you."
- St. John Bosco

"Certainly amongst all devotions, after that of receiving the sacraments, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament holds first place, is most pleasing to God, and most useful to ourselves. Do not then, O devout soul, refuse to begin this devotion; and forsaking the conversation of men, dwell each day, from this time forward, for at least half or quarter of an hour, in some church, in the presence of Jesus Christ under the sacramental species. Taste and see how sweet is the Lord."
- St. Alphonsus Liguori

"When I stand up to talk, people listen to me; they will follow what I have to say. Is it any power of mine? Of course not. St. Paul says, 'What have you that you have not received and you who have received, why do you glory as if you had not?' But the secret of my power is that I have never in fifty-five years missed spending an hour in the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. That's where the power comes from. That's where sermons are born. That's where every good thought is conceived."
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer."
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"I encourage Christians regularly to visit Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, for we are all called to abide in the presence of God."
- Pope John Paul II

"The faith I have when I am in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament is so strong that I find it impossible to express what I feel….When the time comes to leave I must force myself to overcome the inclination to prolong my stay with Jesus."
- St. Anthony Mary Claret

"From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others."
- Pope John Paul II

"I understand that, each time we contemplate with desire and devotion the Host in which is hidden Christ's Eucharistic Body, we increase our merits in heaven and secure special joys to be ours later in the beatific vision of God."
- St. Gertrude


"The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, 'Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.'"
- St. Bernadette Soubirous


“Yes, I am happy, perfectly happy; and do you wish to know where I find true happiness? At the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,"
- Augustine Maria of the Blessed Sacrament, Herman Cohen

"What happiness do we not feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at his feet, before the holy tabernacle! … 'Come, my soul, redouble your ardor! You are here alone to adore your God! His look rests on you alone!' Ah! if we only had the angels' eyes! Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ here, on that altar, and looking at us, how we should love him! We should want to stay always at his feet; it would be a foretaste of heaven; everything else would become insipid to us."
- St. John Vianney

"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to My desire, to allay this thirst by making Me some return of love."
- Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary

The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth."
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host."
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

The Child Jesus
 "I keep company with you as a child to teach you humility and simplicity"~Jesus to St. Faustina

"Jesus has chosen to show me the only way that leads to the divine furnace of love; it is the way of childlike self-surrender, the way of a child who sleeps, afraid of nothing in its Father's arms."~St. Therese


"I saw Our Lady with the Infant Jesus ... . The most holy Mother said to me, 'Take my Dearest Treasure,' and she handed me the Infant Jesus. When I took the Infant Jesus in my arms, the Mother of God and Saint Joseph disappeared. I was left alone with the Infant Jesus"~St. Faustina


"I saw the Infant Jesus near my kneeler. He appeared to be about one year old, and He asked me to take Him in my arms. When I did take Him in my arms, He cuddled up close to my bosom and said, "It is good for Me to be close to your heart. ... Because I want to teach you spiritual childhood. I want you to be very little, because when you are little, I carry you close to My Heart, just as you are holding Me close to your heart right now"~St. Faustina

"I was left alone with the Infant Jesus who stretched out His little hands to me, and I understood that I was to take Him in my arms. Jesus pressed His head against my heart and gave me to know, by His profound gaze, how good He found it to be next to my heart"~St. Faustina 

"If the Redeemer had come to be feared and respected by men, He would have come as a full-grown man and with royal dignity: but because He came to gain our love, He chose to come and to show Himself as an infant and the poorest of infants, born in a cold stable between two animals, laid in a manger on straw, without clothing or fire to warm His shivering limbs: "Thus would He be born, who willed to be loved and not feared."~St. Alphonsus Ligouri

“Ask all that you desire through the merits of My Holy Infancy, Nothing will be refused." 
(Revealed to Ven. Sister Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament)

Saint Thérèse placed an Infant statue in the novitiate at Lisieux when she had charge of the novices, because she knew how many blessings the Divine Child brought to the Carmelite novices in Prague when it was placed in their midst. The same statue still stands in the cloister at Lisieux.


Saint Rose of Lima had great compassion towards her neighbor.  She knew that by showing compassion to the sick , she was showing compassion to God. So, a room in her house known as “The Infirmary” was set aside for her to care for the poor and sick of Peru. Everyone could count on Rose charity, she did not refuse to help anyone, “no matter how sickening a disease might be.” Many people reported that they had been cured at “The Infirmary” especially after her little statue of the Child Jesus had touched them. Rose herself called the little statue, “The Little Doctor.”


Our Lady's Image from the Pieta Booklet
Mary is the mirror in which we should ever watch ourselves; the Mother whom her children ought to resemble more and more. ~Bl Titus Brandsma

This picture of Our Lady was drawn by a mystic in Italy.  Her hand was guided by Our Lady.

There is a special blessing given each day to the person who carries it and another blessing given each time one looks at it with love.
