An Angel Speeks


Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he had this conversation with God:

Child: They tell me, You are sending me to Earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?

GOD: Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

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

GOD: 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.

Child: How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?

GOD: 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.

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

GOD: Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray.

Child: I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?

GOD: Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life.

Child: But will I always be sad because I will not see you anymore?

GOD: Your angel will always talk to you about me and 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.

GOD: Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call her Mommy.
