SAINT ANGELA OF FOLIGNO (1248-1300) had great love for her guardian angel. She wrote: On the feast of the holy angels I was sick and wanted to receive communion and there was no one to bring me communion at home. Suddenly, I understood the praise that the angels give to God and the assistance they give to men.
And a multitude of angels appeared to me and led me in spirit to the altar of a church and said: "This is the altar of the angels". On the altar I could see the praise they gave to Jesus in the sacrament. And they said to me, "Prepare to receive him. You are his bride. Jesus now wants to enter into a new and deeper union with you". I cannot express the joy I felt at that moment.
ST. FRANCISCA ROMANA (1384-1440) saw her angel continually.
She saw him at her right hand. If someone did something bad in his presence, Francisca would see him cover his face with his hands. He gave off such a great light that she could not stare at him. Sometimes, he would diminish his radiance so that she could see him and Francisca would look at him with tenderness and even dare to place her hand on the head of her celestial companion.
SAINT FRANCIS DE REGIS (1597-1640) had a great devotion to the angels and, especially to his guardian angel, to whom he entrusted all his good works so that he could present them to God. He never passed by a church without invoking the guardian angel of the church or parish and the angels of its inhabitants.
Likewise, when he passed by a cemetery, he commended himself to the angels of all the deceased buried there and prayed to the angels of all the deceased buried there and prayed for them, sending them his priestly blessing.
One day, he was passing along a street, when an invisible hand stopped him and he could no longer walk. At that moment, from the window of a neighboring house he was shouted to go upstairs, for there was a person dying.
He went up to the house and listened in confession to the dying man and gave him the last sacraments. He never doubted that it was his angel who had detained him so that he could attend to the dying person.
