THE GUARDIAN ANGEL

The first time she was introduced to him was when she was still a teenager of about 15 years old. She says: One day they gave me a watch with a gold chain. I, vain as I was, couldn’t wait to show it off, going out with him. I actually went out. When I returned and went to undress, I saw an angel (which I now know was mine) who, very seriously, told me: Remember that the precious adornments that beautify the wife of a crucified king cannot be other than the thorns and the cross.

Mother Inés declares that one day Gema went to the monastery to visit her and she reprimanded her for having gone alone. Gema replied that she was not alone, because she was accompanied by her guardian angel. Her mother replied: – And, where have you left it? – Out there, at the door. – Why don’t you call him? Gema opened the door and invited him to come in with her hand, but Mother Inés did not see him and asked how she saw him.

Gema then replied: I see her face and her wings spread over her head as a sign of protection136. Aunt Elisa clarifies in the Process that Gema was then about 15 or 16 years old. Gema says: The guardian angel began to be my teacher and guide, he reprimanded me every time he did something wrong, he taught me to speak little and only when asked. Once when those at home were talking about a certain person and not very well, I wanted to intervene. The angel, a severe friend, made me a great reproach.

He taught me to keep my eyes lowered and even in church he scolded me severely, telling me: «Is this how you are in the presence of God?» Other times, he told me: “If you are not good, I will not let myself be seen by you.

And he goes on to say: I always had a horror of sin; but, despite this, he continually committed it. And Jesus could not be happy. However, he continued to comfort me and sent me the guardian angel to be my guide in everything. I had to give an account of all this to my confessor, but I went to confession and I didn’t dare, I left without saying anything. I returned home and when I entered my room I saw that my angel was crying.

He didn’t dare to ask him anything, but he spontaneously told me: So you don’t want to see me? You’re bad, because you keep things quiet to the confessor. Remember what I tell you, I repeat it for the last time. If you silence the confessor in the slightest, I won’t let myself see any more of you. Never never. I got down on my knees and he ordered me to make the act of contrition, making me promise that from now on, I would tell everything to the confessor and then he forgave me in the name of Jesus 138. Another day, during evening prayer, the angel approached me and, touching me on the back, he told me:- Gemma, why so much reluctance in prayer? – It’s not reluctance, it’s just that I haven’t felt well for two days. -Do your duty carefully and you will see how Jesus will love you even more… I begged the guardian angel to go ask Jesus for permission to spend the night with me. He disappeared instantly. And, when he got permission, he came back139.

On Thursday afternoon, Jesus promised me that, during the days that Mrs. Cecilia was absent, he would make sure that my guardian angel would never be absent. She gave it to me yesterday afternoon and he hasn’t left me for a single moment… If I’m with other people, the angel never leaves me; But if I’m alone with him, he leaves me right away… Today he hasn’t been away from me for even a minute… I asked him: «Why, when Mrs. Cecilia is here, you never show up?» He has answered me: “Because nobody outside her knows how to do my times. Poor girl, you are so tiny that you need someone to hold your hand. Now I will take you, don’t be afraid, but obey”140.

The angel for her was a friend who cared about the smallest thing about her, who smiled at her with love, kissed her with affection and gave her her blessing every night when she went to bed. Until the cure as a heavenly doctor. He tells us: The guardian angel never ceases to watch over me, instruct me and give me wise advice. He shows up several times a day and he talks to me. Yesterday he accompanied me during the meal, but he did not force me (to eat) like the others do. After eating, he did not feel well at all and he then brought me a cup of coffee so good that I was cured immediately141.

Another day, the angel gave me a few drops of a white liquid to drink in a golden glass, telling me that it was the medicine with which the doctor of paradise cured his patients 142. On one occasion, when I least expected it, the angel came. He approached me, caressed me and I felt compelled to tell him with all my affection: -My angel, how much I love you! – Why you love me so much? – I love you, because you teach me humility and because you keep inner peace in my heart. If I’m ever mean, don’t get mad. – Yes, I will be your guide for sure. I will be your inseparable companion. Can’t you see who has entrusted me with your custody? – Yes, my good Jesus. And we both stayed with Jesus.

The angel also had a sense of humor and laughs. She remembers: I insistently begged my guardian angel that she would not leave me alone. He asked me what m
