an angel named mom
A child who was to be born said to God:
-They tell me that you are going to send me to Earth, but how will I live as small and defenseless as I am?
And God replied:
-Do not fear, among many angels I chose one for you who is waiting for you; he will take care of you.
And the boy asked again:
-Who will feed me?
“The same angel,” answered God.
-Who will cradle me?
-He will do it, as he will also make you smile, he will calm your pains, he will watch over your sleep, he will guide you through life while you grow up.
-And how will I understand the people who speak to me, if I don’t know the strange language that men speak?
-Your angel will tell you the sweetest and most tender words you can hear, and with a lot of patience and love will teach you to speak.
I have heard that there are bad men on Earth. Who will defend me?
-Your angel will protect you from all the evils of the world and will take care of you in every moment of your life, day and night. He won’t let them hurt you. If you get sick, he will seek the means to heal you, because he will give his own life for you if necessary.
At that moment, a great peace reigned in heaven, but earthly voices could be heard, and the child, hurriedly, softly repeated:
-My God, if I’m leaving, tell me his name. What is your name my angel?
Said the voice of God, full of peace and love:
-I won’t tell you her name, because it’s not necessary, but you’ll call her MOM.
