Our worship and adoration must be reserved for God alone but we can venerate the angels and saints. They are invisible and want to draw our attention to Jesus. God is in the centre. There are over seventy places in the Diary of St Faustina where the angels are mentioned.
She was aware of the presence of the angels and thankful to God for them. She wrote in the Diary: "In my communing with the angels I thanked God for His goodness, that He gives us angels for companions. Oh, how little people reflect on the fact that they always have beside them such a guest and at the same time a witness to everything" Diary, She kept in mind that the angels stand in front of God and praise Him. That is why she added her prayer to the prayer of the angels, especially the prayer of praise.
I live for your glory alone" Diary, To follow the example of Saint Faustina we should ask the angels to support us in our prayer. We often feel distracted in the morning, in the evening or before Holy Mass. That is why we may ask them for their help in our prayer. They will be with us, help us to concentrate and they will carry our prayers to God.
Saint Faustina wrote in the Diary a beautiful sentence about the angels and the Eucharist: "If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us two things: one is receiving Holy Communion and the other is suffering" Diary, As a religious sister she would go daily to church for the Mass and Holy Communion. And what happened?
The angel brought her Holy Communion:. The Seraph was surrounded by a great light, the divinity and love of God being reflected in him. He wore a golden robe and over it, a transparent surplice and a transparent stole. The chalice was crystal, covered with a transparent veil. As soon as he gave me the Lord, he disappeared" Diary, We all know very well that only the priests have such a power. Saint Faustina had a very intimate relationship with her guardian angel.
