The Holy Guardian Angels
The whole Church, and all her members,
benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of the angels. From the
beginning, we are surrounded by their ever-watchful care and prayer. As
believers, we each have an angel to protect and shepherd us. At the moment of
our birth, each of us is given a Guardian Angel to accompany us through life.
In this way we already share here on earth in the blessed company of the
angels.
Jesus once said: "See that you do not
despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven
always look upon the face of my heavenly Father” (Matthew 18:10).
When King Herod threw Peter into prison,
his fellow believers prayed for his safety. God heard their prayers, and He
sent an angel to the prison. The angel removed Peter’s chains. At first Peter
thought it was all a dream, but when the angel led him past the guards, outside
the prison, and into freedom, he realized that God had sent an angel to deliver
him.
Our Guardian Angels are always there to help us — they are our partners on the path to heaven. Let us call on our Guardian Angels to protect us and help us to follow Jesus and to live good lives.
