My Secret Friend: A Guardian Angel Story

I love this video. I have taught 2nd grade catechism for many years, and I show this every year. The kids love it, and I love it. After I show it, I give them each a little guardian angel lapel pin to remind them that their guardian angel is always with them.Today I showed it to my nieces who are 4 and 8, and they, of course, both loved it. The older child asked me some very thoughtful questions throughout, opening the door to a provocative spiritual discussion.I think the DVD is beautifully done. The story itself is clearly inspired by angels and the songs are lovely. It does a good job of explaining the nature of angels (which I also call spirit guides) and that they work in wondrous and sometimes mysterious ways. It is a great opportunity to teach about St. Michael the archangel, the great protector. I like the way they explain the voice of an angel as being in your "heart," not a voice the way you hear it in this dimension. I love how the hardened hearts of men who had been making bad choices are changed, as well.I would advise anyone considering teaching their children about angels/spirit guides to watch this quality DVD with their children, and use it to open up discussion about God, angels, free will, etc.

GREST FOR CHILDREN TO SEE

Great cartoon !!!!!!

This was requested by someone who is physically challenged. Both of us have been witness to unseen help so it was very relatable to him and prompted discussion.

The movie has very short time and it is hard for children to understand, i had to do a lot of explaining

I bought this to teach my daughter about St. Patrick's Day. She enjoyed learning the real the story. We watch together often.

This story is told in a way that is both very appealing to and very inspiring for children. All of these CCC cartoons are well done, but this is one of their favorites, right along with Francis - Knight of Assisi, Francis Xavier and the Samurai's Lost Treasure, and Columbus - Adventures to the Edge of the World. Each video takes about a half an hour.

My kids cried out of fear. I can think of about a hundred better ways to give the message and concept of ones Guardian Angel. We like the few Saint movies we have seen, but this one was a stretch.

Great!
