“Then suddenly I saw a man of most beautiful appearance come towards me out of that ray of shining light. ‘Fear not,’ he said, ‘I am your Guardian Angel, whom God has assigned to you right from the beginning, to be with you by God’s command and to lead you into the desert. Be perfected, walk humbly with God, labor joyfully, keep guard over your heart at all times, live uncomplainingly, persevere in good works. Rest assured I shall never leave you until such time as I shall bear you up into the presence of his Majesty most high.’ Thus spoke the Angel, who became my companion at the beginning of my journey.”
