Did you know your guardian angel—and the entire host of heaven—wants to help you fast and pray?

St. Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Mother can support you in moments of temptation, guide you toward holiness, and bring peace to your spiritual fasting journey.

Why Angels Matter in Spiritual Fasting
When most of us think about fasting, we focus on food, prayer, or the spiritual discipline itself. But this week, Beth invites us to see fasting through a different lens—the lens of heaven. She reminds us that we are never alone in our fasting journey. We have powerful spiritual allies: our guardian angels, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Blessed Mother herself.

Heavenly Helpers for Daily Life
Beth shares stories from her own life, teachings from the saints, and insights from Scripture that reveal how the angels protect, guide, and strengthen us. St. Thomas Aquinas taught that each of us is given a guardian angel at birth—an angel whose mission is to guide us toward God and intercede for us throughout our lives.

When we fast, these angels become even more active in helping us stay faithful, resist temptation, and grow in holiness. Whether it’s sending your angel to support a loved one or asking for help in moments of spiritual battle, these heavenly friends are ready to assist when we invite them in.

Practical Ways to Involve the Angels
Beth offers simple, practical ways to develop a deeper relationship with the angels:

• Pray to your guardian angel daily for guidance and strength.

• Call on St. Michael in moments of spiritual warfare or temptation.

• Invite the Blessed Mother to intercede for you as Queen of Angels.

• Send your angel ahead to help in difficult conversations or situations.

Through fasting and prayer, we open ourselves to their guidance and protection in powerful ways.

You’re Not Alone
Spiritual fasting can be challenging, but Beth’s reminder is clear: we have heavenly help. The angels long to assist us in our journey toward holiness, bringing peace, encouragement, and protection along the way.

So next time you fast, remember to invite your angel to join you. You might be surprised at how much strength and joy you gain when heaven fights by your side.
