*Celebrating the Holy Guardian Angels*
_(Friday, 2 October 2026. Readings: Job 38:1,12-21,40:3-5, Ps. 139:1-3,7-10,13-14, Matthew 18:1-5,10)_

_*“Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 18:10)*_

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Who are guardian angels? Guardian Angels are special messengers assigned to each person to guide and protect them. In today’s Gospel passage, Jesus speaks about guardian angels while warning his listeners against despising the little ones. Children may appear fragile, but they are not alone. No human being is alone.

Why do we need Guardian Angels? We live in a profoundly spiritual world. As we often say, there is more to reality than meets the eye. Nothing happens in the physical realm unless it is settled in the spiritual realm. Hence, St. Paul would say: “For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12).

How do we tap into the protection offered by our Guardian Angels? One: Be conscious of their existence. Many Christians today are unaware that they have guardian angels. Hence, they nurse unnecessary fears leading to anxiety, depression and faithlessness. Some Christians are more conscious of the powers of the demons than they are of their God-given powers. St. John writes: “Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4).

Two: Develop the habit of listening to your guardian angels. Speaking about our guardian angels, God says: “I am going to send an angel in front of you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Be attentive to him and listen to h

*THE TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR II.*

*THE MEMORIAL OF THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS.*

*FIRST READING*
Have you ever commanded the morning, and entered into the springs of the sea?

*A reading from the Book of Job (Job 38:1.12-21; 40:3-5)*

The Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? It is changed like clay under the seal, and it is dyed like a garment. From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken. Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this. “Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness, that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home? You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!” Then Job answered the Lord: “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”

*The Word of the Lord.*

*RESPONSORIAL PSALM*
Taken from Psalm 139: 1 - 3, 7 - 8, 9 - 10, 13 - 14ab (R.) 24b)

And the response is;
*R/. Lead me, Lord, in the way everlasting.*

O Lord, you search me and you know me,
You yourself know my resting and my rising;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down;
you know all my ways through and through. *R/.*

O where can I go from your spirit,
or where can I flee from your face?
If I climb the heavens, you are there.
If I lie in the grave, you are there. *R/.*

If I take the wings of the dawn or dwell
at the sea’s furthest end,
even there your hand would lead me;
your right hand

Six purported miracles are attributed to the intercession of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen as part of the process that could lead to his canonization, Monsignor Jason Gray, executive director of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, said Thursday, Sept 24th.

Gray made the announcement at a press conference with Bonnie Engstrom, whose newborn child was miraculously healed after she prayed for Sheen’s assistance. That confirmed miracle led to Sheen’s beatification.

PRAYER FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

Heavenly Father, we thank You for waking us up to the first morning of October. As this new day breaks, we lift our hearts to You in gratitude. You have kept us alive and brought us safely into this new month, and for that we are truly thankful. Lord, we receive this month as a gift from Your hands. We declare it a month of victory, joy and celebration. By the power of Your Word, which calls things that are not as though they were, we speak this month over ourselves, our families and our loved ones as a season of:

O-vertaking every lost ground,
C-elebration in every area of our lives,
T-estimonies that silence every doubt,
O-pportunities divinely aligned for our lifting,
B-reakthroughs beyond human expectation,
E-levation to new heights of favour, and
R-estoration of all that was stolen.

Father, we place every plan, every need and every hope of this month in Your hands. Where we are weak, be our strength. Where we are weary, renew us. Where we cannot see the way, lead us. Go before us, Lord, and let Your goodness crown this month. Shield us from every harm and from every plan of the enemy. Let Your peace settle in our homes and remain with us from the first day to the last. And when this month ends, may we look back and say, "The Lord has done great things for us." We declare October a month to celebrate and to be celebrated, in the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

Good morning and win this month.
Happy Independence Day Nigeria.
Happy New Month!

*Let Us Live Together in Peace*
_(Thursday, 1 October 2026. Readings: Isaiah 11:1-10, Ps. 72:1-2,7-8,12-13,17, Ephesians 2:13-18, Matthew 2:13-15,19-23)_

_*“In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!” (Psalm 72:7)*_

Today, we mark our Independence Day. History tells us that on this day, Nigeria was freed from the jaws of colonialism. The question remains: since 1960, have we truly achieved freedom from our colonial masters? Did we replace the white-skinned colonial masters with our fellow dark-skinned masters who lord it over us with large convoys (causing unnecessary traffic, abuse of human rights), yet play second fiddle, acting as puppets to their foreign counterparts?

The suffering across the nation is visible, yet we have not only learned to bear with whatever comes, but we have also learned how to transfer it to one another. The average Nigerian today is okay as long as he knows he is in some way suffering less than his neighbour. We do not mind fighting ourselves by supporting and promoting leaders who are the epitome of corruption as long as we get our steady share of crumbs; crumbs from the rich food of abundant natural resources that God gave freely to us all.

We have just entered another campaign season, and we can see the same cycle of failure repeating itself. People are going door to door sharing palliatives in the name of a political campaign. Every four years, they recycle the same promises. To understand what is happening, imagine a patient who needs surgery (organ replacement), yet the doctor keeps administering painkillers every time they go to the hospital. Many have died, and many continue to die needlessly and painfully. We have become too used to sad news; our hearts do not move at the news of tragic deaths.

Do you notice the contrast in today’s readings? While our First reading presents a beautiful, glorious, peaceful world where animals and humans coexist with love,

Today, we mark our Independence Day. History tells us that on this ...

"WE ARE ALL INVITED "

29/09/2026

LOURDES, France — Pope Leo XIV issued a firm call to conversion from sin and error in the Church, and invited all to repent and do penance, at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes on Sunday.

Mary’s call to conversion in her message to St. Bernadette “also concerns the Church herself as she makes her earthly journey. She must have the courage to begin with herself,” he said at Mass on Sept. 27.
