         (Guardian angel:) I bring you this message on behalf of this little one who is frail and helpless on his own. He does always behold my face because he is one of the Lord's. The Lord has entrusted him into my care to help watch over him, but the Lord has also entrusted this little life to you, dear one.
         This little one needs you. He does not know or understand things as you do. His little mind does not comprehend or analyze as yours does. This little one needs your love, your care, your touch and your assurance through soothing, kind, loving words, so that he might know that you are there and that you love him.
         Babies do not understand complicated vocabulary or eloquence, but they understand and sense love. They crave love. They grow on love. As spiritual newborn babes grow in the Spirit from the milk of the Word, so they grow also with the loving and tender attention of their shepherds who set for them an example by their deeds, and by the inflections and tones in their voice.
         So love this little one and reach out to him. I am caring for him, too, watching over him and his care and how he grows. He is special to Jesus, as are all of Jesus' children, as are you. Touch him. His tiny fingertips can sense your love. His tiny fingertips were so perfectly created with so many little nerve endings made for touching, caressing, experiencing love and tenderness. Kiss this little one's cheeks, so round and perfect and luscious and sweet. Kiss him and whisper words of love in his little ears. Sing him lullabies that will soothe his little heart and help him feel all cozy and tucked-in in God's Spirit.
