An angel´s name

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


So one day the child asked God:

"They tell me you are sending me to earth

tomorrow, but how am I going to live there

being so small and helpless?"

God replied, lovingly,

"Among the many angels, I chose one for you.

She will be waiting for you

and will take care of you"

"But tell me, God, here in Heaven,

I don't do anything else but sing and

smile. That's enough for me to be happy.

Why must I leave?"

"Your angel will sing for you and will also

smile for you every day. And you will feel your

angel's love and be happy."

" And how am I going to be able to understand

when people talk to me, if I don't know the

language that men talk?"

"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet

words you will ever hear, and with much patience and

care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

"Your angel will place your hands together

and will teach you how to pray."

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

Who will protect me?"

"Your angel will defend you even if it means

risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see You anymore."

"Your angel will always talk to you about me and

will teach you the way for you 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 about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"Your angel's name is of no importance at all, you will

call your angel - Mother."
