 Our Guardian Angels at Holy Mass

During the Mass, you can ask your guardian angel to present your prayers to God at the Offertory part of the Mass when the gifts are brought up.

According to "The Testimony of Catalina on the Holy Mass":

"Some of them [guardian angels] were carrying something like a golden bowl with something that shone a great deal with a golden-white light. The Virgin Mary said: "They are the Guardian Angels of the people who are offering this Holy Mass for many intentions, those who are conscious of what this celebration means. They have something to offer the Lord.."

"Offer yourselves at this moment... offer your sorrows, your pains, your hopes, your sadness, your joys, your petitions. Remember that the Mass has infinite value. Therefore, be generous in offering and in asking."

"Behind the first Angels came others who had nothing in their hands; they were coming empty handed. The Virgin Mary said: "Those are the angels of the people who are here but never offer anything. They have no interest in living each liturgical moment of the Mass and they have no gifts to carry before the Altar of the Lord."

"At the end of the procession came other angels who were rather sad, with their hands joined in prayer but with their eyes downcast. "These are the Guardian Angels of the people who are here but do not want to be, that is to say of the people who have been forced to come here, who have come out of obligation but without any desire to participate in the Holy Mass. The angels go forth sadly because they have nothing to carry to the Altar, except for their own prayers."

"Do not sadden your Guardian Angel. Ask for much, ask for the conversion of sinners, for peace in the world, for your families, your neighbors, for those who ask for your prayers. Ask, ask for much, but not only for yourselves, but for everyone else.
