2026 begins a brand new universal nine-year cycle. A time to plant seeds. You may find it helpful to choose an angel virtue to strengthen your spiritual growth. In Anselm Gruen's book, Angels of Grace, 50 angels are listed, with a chapter description on each virtue.
Adopt one attitude (angel), you need the most, to promote inner transformation throughout the new year. A needed virtue to strengthen and add something new and fresh. Angels have a way to bring out something within us, something we may forget, or be to distracted to notice in our everyday lives.
If this idea speaks to you, choose the angel you need. The one you believe will do you the most good for you this year. You may print out the list below, cut it in strips, and pray for guidance, then select one at random. Or you can simply say a pray for guidance, close your eyes, and run your finger down the page. Stop on an angel and open your eyes. Your celestial companion in 2026. Or, maybe you intuitively know the perfect one of choice, and it's not on the list. Whatever works best for you. Deep down you know the perfect choice.

I love that Angels tell us that God is near. That we are bathed in His healing and loving presence. Angels herald, Fear not. God is at hand to help and to heal. The deep truth about angels is they show us there is "more" to our life--that it relates to something bigger, far beyond our physical selves. They are a source of inspiration, refreshing and uplifting our outlook. The angels breathe a heavenly life into us that goes beyond our heart's earthly desires.
There are so many that are a good fit. Endurance, Enthusiasm, Tenderness. But in 2026, it is a lovely idea to envision that I will be accompanied by the Angel of Freedom. What about you? Remember you are never alone. God has given his angels charge to watch over you.
Love, peace, and joy,
