I remember hearing a story on the "Catholic Answers" radio program about an incident which occurred at a house run by the Missionaries of Charity sisters in Haiti during the riots after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide fled the country (2004).

The man overheard the sisters talking about the riots and how, praise God, their home was not being attacked. He rose up and told them. "Of course nobody's attacking your house! You've got all those big scary-looking men outside, driving the demons away with their giant swords!"

The sisters looked at each other, unsure of what to make of the comment. Was he hallucinating, or in his dying moments, did he actually see the Guardian Angels protecting their home?
