Medjugorje, September 12, 2026
The Holy Name of Mary
Dear Friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On August 25, 2026, the visionary Marija received the following monthly message:
“Dear children, Today I am calling you: return to God, return to prayer, so that you may become carriers of peace. Pray, little children, for peace that is in danger; and may prayer begin to flow anew from your hearts and from your families, so that, in joy, you may feel the voice of Jesus in your hearts: ‘Peace be with you.’ Be, little children, carriers of peace and prayer for all those who do not pray. I am with you and I pray for you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
(With ecclesiastical approval)

2. My sister’s Guardian Angel.
September is dedicated to the Angels, so I would like to share a few instances here where they made themselves known. My religious sister Tamara recounts…
“From my earliest childhood, I have had a very strong relationship with my Guardian Angel. He was my playmate and my confidant; I lived in his presence. As I grew older, that relationship became more distant, yet the awareness of my Guardian Angel always remained very vivid within me. During my missions in Russia, I would ‘hold his hand,’ and on several occasions, he manifested himself in very tangible ways. Upon returning from a mission, I love to recount the Lord’s wonders—here is one of them!”

One day, I was preparing for a humanitarian mission to Russia and had to drive our minibus alone to Autrey, in the Vosges in France, to meet up with the rest of the team. I also had to hitch up a trailer loaded with supplies destined for Russia.
It was a cold winter morning… I had been keeping my trailer in the garden of a family friend in Meudon. Early that Monday morning, I looked for someone to help me hitch the trailer to the minibus, but everyone was heading off to their daily activities, and I found myself alone with an African teenager—about fifteen years old—who kindly offered to help. We did the best we could together, and then I set off…
Sometime later, I was driving on the highway in heavy traffic. Suddenly, other drivers signaled for me to pull over. Spotting a convenient embankment nearby, I parked there, though I didn’t understand the situation. I can’t say exactly how it all unfolded, but just as I was trying to compose myself, I saw a white van appear—seemingly landing right over my head—and pull up behind my car. A man in his thirties, wearing white overalls and exuding an air of trustworthiness, stepped out. Then, everything happened without a word being spoken, looking somewhat stern, he pointed to my trailer, which had actually detached from the minibus while driving and—fortunately—come to rest on the embankment. Had it veered into the traffic, it could have caused a major accident!
The man opened his vehicle’s trunk, grabbed a toolbox, and took out a huge roll of white tape. Everything was white. He then retrieved my trailer and securely lashed it to the minibus with what looked like a massive bandage—all in no time and without saying a word. I watched him, speechless with astonishment; his face expressed kindness tinged with a touch of sternness.
I said to him, “Thank you so much! It was the Lord who sent you!”
He gave me a look that seemed to say, “You have no idea how right you are!” I briefly looked down at the work he had just finished. But when I looked up again, everything had vanished—the white van, the man, and his toolbox… there was absolutely nothing left.
That trailer stayed with us for years on the rough Russian roads of the 1990s, and years later, we actually had to saw through that patch of white tape to remove it.”
As Don Bosco—that great Italian saint who also lived in the company of Angels—tells us: “Our Guardian Angel’s desire to help us is far greater than our desire to be helped by him.”
It must be said that on that day, Sister Tamara’s Guardian Angel really did outdo himself!

3. None of us are alone! From the moment of our conception, the Creator has placed an Angel by our side. What a precious gift! We are the only person who that Angel is charged to look after. This Angel knows God’s plan for us; he enlightens, protects, and defends us, and leads us to eternal life. From the immense richness of the lives of the saints, I have drawn a few examples to encourage us to strengthen our friendship with our own Angel and to put him to work—for he longs to help us!

Pope John XXIII recounts: “During a conversation I had with the illustrious Pontiff Pius XI, I heard him share a beautiful secret, confirming that the protection of one’s Guardian Angel always brings joy, resolves difficulties, and diminishes obstacles. ‘Whenever I have to speak with someone whom I know to be resistant to reason,’ Pius XI confided to me, ‘and when it is necessary to employ a certain form of persuasion, I ask my Guardian Angel to brief the Guardian Angel of the person I am about to meet on the whole matter. In this way, once an understanding has been reached between the two higher spirits, the conversation proceeds under the best possible conditions and is greatly facilitated.'” (John XXIII, September 9, 1962; ORF 38)
Saint John of the Cross testifies in his maxims on the spiritual life: “The Angels are our shepherds; not only do they carry our messages to God, but they also bring us His… Through their secret inspirations, the Angels grant the soul a higher knowledge of God. They thus inflame it with a more ardent love for Him; they even go so far as to leave it utterly wounded by love.”
Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus was deeply attuned to the Angels. Thanks to her excellent and holy parents, she maintained a close relationship with the Angels, and she wrote a poem that bears witness to her trust and reverence for them:
“To my Guardian Angel: Glorious guardian of my soul, you who shine in the beautiful heavens like a gentle, pure flame beside the throne of the Eternal—you descend to earth for my sake, illuminating me with your splendor! Beautiful Angel, you become my brother, my friend, my comforter! Knowing my great weakness, you guide me by the hand, and I see you tenderly remove the stone from my path. Your gentle voice ever calls me to look only toward the heavens. The more humble and little you see me to be, the more radiant your brow becomes. O you who traverse the vastness of space swifter than lightning, I beg you: fly in my stead to those who are dear to me! With your wing, dry their tears; sing of how good Jesus is, and softly whisper my name…
“During my brief life, I wish to save my fellow sinners. O beautiful Angel of my homeland, grant me your holy zeal! I have nothing but my sacrifices and my austere poverty. Present them, along with your heavenly delights, to the Trinity…”
Saint Philip Neri, the apostle of joy, encountered an Angel disguised as a poor beggar. Just as he was about to give the man the little money he possessed, the Angel revealed his true identity. He explained that he had wished to test Philip’s generosity; he smiled at him and then vanished.

Saint Padre Pio affectionately called his Guardian Angel “my little childhood companion.” In letters to his spiritual directors, he recounted frequent encounters with these Angels, who gave him a foretaste of heavenly bliss and helped him withstand the attacks of the Evil One. Faced with so many supernatural phenomena, his confessor decided to test the veracity of these accounts by sending him letters written in Greek and French—languages the Italian Capuchin did not know. Upon receiving them, the saint understood everything and replied to his confessor: “You know, my Guardian Angel explained it all to me.”
In her Diary, Saint Faustina Kowalska recounts numerous visions of Angels. She regularly sees her Guardian Angel by her side—in the garden, in the kitchen, or on the train—and receives tangible help from him during difficult times. One day, her Angel even showed her the place reserved for her in Heaven for fulfilling God’s will…
Saint Angela of Foligno, a 13th-century mystic, left behind many writings recounting her visions of heavenly creatures. One day, during Mass, she heard a voice say to her: “At this moment, the Son of God, in His humanity and divinity, is present on the altar, surrounded by a multitude of Angels.” The saint declared: “Their presence brought me such joy, and their words filled my soul with such happiness, that I never would have believed the most holy Angels were capable of bestowing such delights upon souls.”

Closer to our own time, Father Matteo La Grua (1914–2012)—a spiritual father of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, an exorcist and a renowned miracle-worker—evangelized a large part of Sicily. He celebrated Mass with profound fervor, and on more than one occasion, those close to him heard the singing of Angels during his celebrations. This magnificent polyphony—heavenly songs impossible for humans to produce—was even recorded.
