Friday October 2nd: Friends in Heaven

The Diocese of Port of Spain observes the memorial of the Guardian Angels on Friday, October 2, reminding the faithful that God provides constant protection and care.

According to the Diocese, the memorial serves as an assurance that God does not abandon people during times of danger, temptation, loneliness, or uncertainty. The observance suggests that the concept of angels is a reality rather than a fantasy, offering a sense of safety to both children and adults.

The Diocese also notes that the memorial can influence how people treat one another. By acting as instruments of God's love, individuals such as parents, friends, teachers, and neighbors can serve as guardian angels to others through protection, encouragement, and guidance.
