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 but how am I going to live there being so small
and helpless?"
God replied, "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."
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you
every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people
talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?"
"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 men. Who will
protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its
life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
"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 call your
angel: Mommy."
