Your Angel "Mommy"

Once upon a time there was a child waiting to be born.

So one day, he asked God, "They tell me that you are going to send me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied, "Among the many angels I chose one to take care of you."

"But tell me, here in heaven I don't do anything but sing and smile; that's enough for me to be happy."

"Your angel will sing for you and smile for you, and that's enough for you to be happy,” said God.

"And how am I going to understand what men talk, when I cannot speak the language that men speak?"

"Your angel will speak the most beautiful words that men talk, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you to speak."

Then the little angel asked: "And what am I going to do if I want to speak to you?"

"Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray", reassured God.

"I've heard that on earth there are bad men."

"Your angel will protect you, even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore", said the little one.

"Your angel will always talk to you and teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"Your angel's name is of no importance,” said God, ”You will call your angel "Mommy."
