“As the Akathist to the Guardian Angel states: they keepeth unceasing watch over one’s life. Their activity with the children grows and they never cease to love them despite the bad behaviour of those children who become adults and no longer listen to the voice of heir guardian angels. The angels never abandon their children during their life on earth; they never stop teaching their children nor stop praying to God for their salvation unto the end of their earthly lives.” —“Foreword”
