Guardian Angel II 16
Dr. Mark Miravalle, professor of Theology and Mariology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, says that Angels commonly talk to and guide us through our consciences. Our young lady is beginning to hear that voice . . . something inside saying - "This really isn't worth her being upset over. Or even complaining about. And what is the point of gossiping?" And reminding her of that decade of the rosary she prayed. . . drawing to mind, as her friend fiddles with her phone, the struggles Mary accepted without complaint as struggles God chose to give her.
Angels can be seen as the bridge between humanity and Divinity, because although they are pure spirit, they are still created. When angels speak to each other, it is a communication of ideas without any reliance on touch, sight or the spoken word. But it is tradition that the "talk" of the angels is always Song, and always first directed vertically, towards God. ("Holy, Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heaven and Earth are full of Your glory - Hosanna in the highest!")
However, in speaking to us, they are thought to often use that holy, good, reminding voice in our conscience. Remember that their role is to be messengers of God. If you are experiencing "holy reminders," most likely they are the work of your Guardian Angel, done out of pure love for you in the service of God.
The prayer effected an increase in charity, and she is catching glimpses of things in a more proper, eternal light. The world - and gossiping - seems less important and less attractive - she even has a bit of a distaste for it. She tries to explain herself to her friend, but her friend doesn't understand. This is difficult for her to do. . . She is so self -conscious.
