How the Angel Callings Sanctuary began… I wish I could say that it was my idea to start the Angel Callings Sanctuary, but it wasn’t.  I was guided from the beginning and that steady guidance continues to lead me today.  It all began when I thought that I would like to create a Zen garden. Suddenly, a thought entered my mind asking me, “Why not start an angel sanctuary instead?”  At the time, I couldn’t understand why.  I wondered why an angel sanctuary and why me?  This mental tug-of-war went on for several months.  The recurring thought to start the sanctuary persisted.  When I asked why, I was guided to understand that I was to start the sanctuary to bring people together.  Despite the differences that exist among cultures and religions in the world, the common thread among many is their belief in angels.  I was led to understand that even my name was part of this sacred plan.  When I asked, “Why me?”  I was told, “Aren’t you Maria de Los Angeles (Maria of the Angels), do you think that this is a coincidence?”  I realized that this was all part of a plan that I was being guided to follow.  I finally understood my mission and began working to start the angel sanctuary.  I slowly acquired angel statues to adorn the grounds.  Many days as I worked on my sanctuary I would look up at the sky and see angels among the clouds.  You can see many of those amazing images on my website.  With each angel that graces the sky, I am once again reminded of this important journey.  A joyous and inspirational journey that I hope others will take with me.  Those who visit this special place will feel the peace and tranquility that exists here because you will be among angels.          © Angel Callings Sanctuary 2011
