Angel Stories

My daughter Kathy had to get up early the next day. As usual, I told her to pray to her Guardian Angel to wake her up in time. To make sure she doesn’t oversleep, Kathy slept on the sofa that night. She was hoping the morning light streaming through the living room windows would wake her up. Kathy prayed that she would wake up at 5:30 am.

The next morning, she felt someone pull her legs. Sleepily, she opened her droopy, heavy eyes and saw it was still dark. Thinking it was just a dream, she went back to sleep. Just as soon as she fell asleep, she felt her legs being tugged again. Still groggy with drowsiness, she forced her eyes open. But there was no one in the room. Sitting up on the sofa, she looked at the clock: it was 5:30 am!”

Kathy was not the only one who was waked up in time by her Guardian Angel. A priest told once: Every day my Guardian Angel wakes me up at time! When I have to get up at 5am, he wakes me up at 5am. When I have to wake up at 6:30am, he will wake me up at 6:30am! I don’t need an alarm clock!”

A saint who was roused from sleep by his Guardian Angel every single day was St. Raymond of Pennafort.
