Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born.
So, one day he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth
tomorrow. How am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will
be waiting for you and will take care of you."
"But, tell me, here in Heaven I don't do anything
else but sing and smile. That's enough for me to be happy. How am I
going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know
the language that men talk on earth?"
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and
sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your
angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to
You?"
"Your angel will place your hands together and will
teach you how to pray."
"I've heard that on earth there are bad people. Who
will protect me?"
"Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will
teach you the way for you to come back to Me, even though I will always
be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but
voices from earth could already be heard, and the child, in a hurry,
asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my
angel's name."
"Your angel's name is of no importance. You will
simply call her mom."
