God made the angels pure and holy. The angels are spirits; they are more perfect beings than men. The angels love God; they dwell in joy and peace with God. Our guardian angels watch over us. They love us very much; they speak to our hearts without words; they want to lead us to God. We love and honor our guardian angels.

Did you ever hear how God converted St. Paul ?
I will tell you. St. Paul’s name was Saul. He hated the Christians. So he was hunting them to put them to death. One day he was riding a horse along the road when suddenly there was a great light around him. Then God spoke to him, saying : “Saul, Saul, why are you doing this wicked thing to me?” Poor Saul was sorry then for all that he had done. He was baptized and afterward became a great Apostle. He loved God very much. In the end he died for our holy Faith. You, can read about Saul’s conversion in that part of the Bible called the Acts of the Apostles.

I will tell you. St. Peter was preaching to the people in Jerusalem. He was telling the people to believe in our holy Faith. He was telling them all that God wanted them to do. Then some bad people put St. Peter into prison. They put chains on his hands and feet and put soldiers there to guard him. They were going to put him to death the next day. But in the night an angel came, took off the chains, opened the door, and led St. Peter out of the prison. Now he was free. He went and bade good-by to the Christians, who were all together praying for him. That night he left the city. You can read about this in that part of the Bible called the Acts of the Apostles.
