When appalling things and events fail to create catastrophe; disgusting events turn into amazing moments, you start believing in unknown forces. When things start falling in place, the right things start happening at right time, at that time we refer and make use of the words luck or fortune. Some also call it destiny.
Are we right about the abysmal events turning into wonderful fortune?
Is there really some Lady Luck that takes care of us at dreadful and shocking times?
Or maybe it is because of our guardian angels?
Maybe we ought to make use of the phrase blessed and give the credit to our Guardian Angels. Maybe it is the right time to thank them and the super powerful Mother Nature for our fortunes and for guarding us.

Any experiences with Guardian Angels that you want to share
You are right, Derdriu.
Frank, I just noticed your tale below.
That inner voice was the "still small voice" (1 Kings 19:11-13) of the God of Elijah, the God who saves us all -- in this case, the rescuer and the two rescuees -- even as guardian angels guide their guardees.
What do you make of this tale? I had alighted from a tram in the undercroft of Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station and was walking to the staircase when an inner voice told me to go up the escalator. I obeyed and walked behind a grandmother and grand-daughter. To cut a long story short the young girl caused the grandmother to fall backwards. Falling backwards down the moving stair would have caused serious injury or death,but I caught and saved her. What was the inner voice and from whom?
It happened that I absolutely had to be somewhere about 40 minutes away at a specific time.
The interstate highway that I needed to be on for about 45 minutes of the 50-, 55-minute drive looked safe even as in actuality it was black ice all the way. There might have been two exits where I could have gotten off before my destination. They seemed even more treacherous, just like the parallel frontage road between the beginning and ending points to my trip.
There were many accidents and some casualties that day. Perhaps I would have been among them had I not had the non-stop presence of guardian angels and of those I love and miss.
Newman wrote a great deal, and I have been unable to source this quote, which I have from memory. Sorry.
Watchfulness [mindfulness] is important, you are so correct.
@Telesto and @frankbeswick - I believe if you are strong there is no need to be afraid of demons but being watchful is the best thing to do. Never invite evil spirits - be safe than sorry.
@frankbeswick - I agree there is a possibility of angels and demons and not all of them are good. I have read many journals of Buddhist monk who are well established in spirituality (in a good way) and their experiences. I will have to research about Cardinal Newman and read about what he says.
Ditto. But we must be wary of evil influences in our lives.
I think Cardinal Newman is probably right, but I prefer to only think about the good beings around me.
Yes, I agree that there is a heightened sensitivity as you rise in the spiritual life. Cardinal Newman,a great English Catholic thinker, thought that humans are surrounded by a host of spirits, not all of them good.
