…let us praise the lord whom the angels praise: behold i will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that i have prepared… [exodus 23]

although the solemnity of september 29 celebrates the praises of all the nine glorious choirs, several churches desired to have a special day consecrated to the guardian angels, paul v in 1608 authorized its celebration and clement x in 1670 established it by precept as feast of double rite…october 2 has been fixed for this feast in the roman calendar…happy feast of the holy guardian angels…to our special guardian angel…gabriel.

5:00 am…just before sunrise we drive all the way up in the high desert of riyadh just to look for a place for a night camping in the open…sounds like fun, right?…camping in a desert for a night or two…

its a rocky-high desert…not the typical red fine sand…more like a surface of the moon…a place where the brits in saudi arabia used to hang-out, dine-out and boozes out.

cool place. finally we spot another strange space in riyadh…where's the flag, guys…el cirkulos!
