BBC Songs Of Praise

+++
People sometimes ask me if I pray to my guardian angel, I pray only to God, not to any angel. But I ask my angel to help. As a child I remember learning the prayer to the guardian angel that so many children in Ireland and elsewhere learnt. It’s beautiful:
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day,
be at my side
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.

I have never actually considered this a prayer to my guardian angel – just another way of asking it for help. If you like the prayer of course use it, but talking to your guardian angel as if it’s a friend works just as well.

Blessings to you, your family and loved ones.

Planeta Humano / Human Planet (BBC)

+++

Human Planet is an awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping landmark series that marvels at mankind's incredible relationship with nature in the world today.

Uniquely in the animal kingdom, humans have managed to adapt and thrive in every environment on Earth. Each episode takes you to the extremes of our planet: the arctic, mountains, oceans, jungles, grasslands, deserts, rivers and even the urban jungle. Here you will meet people who survive by building complex, exciting and often mutually beneficial relationships with their animal neighbours and the hostile elements of the natural world.

Human Planet crews have filmed in around 80 locations, bringing you many stories that have never been told on television before. The team has trekked with HD cameras and state of the art gear to film from the air, from the ground and underwater. The result: a "cinematic experience" created by world-class natural history and documentary camera crews and programme makers.
