A question about guardian angels

[Contra_Mundum_1]

I rarely think about my guardian angel and I never pray to him. I don’t know how.

What do they do and how? What can we expect from them?

I’m clueless. Please help with some info and advice on what to do here.

TIA!

You can pray this:
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His Love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Guardian angels watch over us and aid us in our spiritual lives. They glorify God and they take up our offerings to God during Mass. They also act as Messengers and take up our petitions/prayers. Padre Pio said to tell our guardian angels to relay our messages to his guardian angel. He essentially said that it was a sure-fire way of letting him know to intervene on our behalf when asking for help from God.

Once in a while I pray to him. I simply tell him he needs to wake up and keep alert for me, because he is suppose to help me. That I finish saying thanks for everything you have done for I know you don’t get enought credit.

Just a friendly prayer.

CCC 334 In the meantime, the whole life of the Church benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of angels.

CCC 335 In her liturgy, the Church joins with the angels to adore the thrice-holy God. She invokes their assistance (in the funeral liturgy’s In Paradisum deducant te angeli. . .“May the angels lead you into Paradise. . .”]). Moreover, in the “Cherubic Hymn” of the Byzantine Liturgy, she celebrates the memory of certain angels more particularly (St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, and the guardian angels).

CCC 336 From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their 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.
