Guardians Angels are divine agents of God sent to protect and aid humans on earth in times of need. They are mentioned throughout the Bible, coming to the support of God’s people. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, guardian angels receive just a short paragraph of explanation: “From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their (guardian angels’) watchful care and intercession. ‘Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.’ Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.”
Another important teaching about angels is that they are engaged in a great cosmic war – the heavenly angels versus the fallen angels, also known as demons.
Revelation 12 in particular, and other Church documents state that humans sort of enter into this war that’s been raging between the demons and the holy angels. Let’s express our gratitude and remember our need for these allies that help draw us to what’s good.
My Guardian Angel Prayer
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.
Amen
