“Our guardian angel’s task is to get us to heaven—not to keep us or our loved ones from suffering or death.  After all, suffering is perhaps the principal means of our spiritual growth on earth, and death is our final portal to God…The angels always cooperate with his perfect plan…through most of our time here, we will stand in need of much more time here—to draw still closer to God and prepare ourselves for judgment.  That’s the reason why our angels will sometimes go to extraordinary lengths to keep us safe.”
