Do you believe in Guardian Angels? They exist!

[Righteousone]

Do you ever think about your Guardian Angel? You have one you know. His mission from God to look after you is explained in the simple prayer that Catholics evrywhere learned in childhood:
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.
Interestingly, the much cherished and ancient Catholic belief in guardian angels–mighty spirits charged by God to assist human beings–has never been a formally defined dogma of the church, but it has always been part of Catholic belief and piety. The Catholic church’s 2,000 year history of liturgy, prayers, hymns, and sacred art has been filled with the presence of her belief in guardian angels. And for good reason. The Old Testament contains numerous examples of God assigning angels to protect and deliver his people. And, as you might expect, we see similar incidents of angelic protection in the NT as well.
In fact, the Lord Himself explicitly taught the existence of guardian angels when He said, “SEE THAT YOU DO NOT DESPISE ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES; FOR I TELL YOU THAT IN HEAVEN THEIR ANGELS ALWAYS BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN”. (Mt 18:10)
Genesis 19 recounts the case of two angels who were sent by God to protect Lot (LK 17:29)
In Exodus 32:34, God promised Moses and the Israelites a special guardian angel, saying “MY ANGEL SHALL GO BEFORE YOU”.
In Daniel 10, in Deuterocanical Book of Tobit, chapters 5-6, 8-9, and 12. Also Psalm 91:9-12. Also Exodus 23:20-22.
Also Acts 12 12:16 and Hebrews 1:14.

Through the years I have always known that my Guardian Angel is real. He/she, is at my side day and night. There have been times when I truly believe that an “angel” has led me through the dark uncertain times in my life to a better, happier, God-filled day. Yes, there are Guardian Angels, and lest I forget to say “Thank You”, I want to thank my GA for all the help and guidance I have experienced and hope to continue to receive.

Love and peace,

Mom of 5

Here is an excerpt:

Quote:
217. Popular devotion to the Holy Angels, which is legitimate and good, can, however, also give rise to possible deviations:
when, as sometimes can happen, the faithful are taken by the idea that the world is subject to demiurgical struggles, or an incessant battle between good and evil spirits, or Angels and daemons, in which man is left at the mercy of superior forces and over which he is helpless; such cosmologies bear little relation to the true Gospel vision of the struggle to overcome the Devil, which requires moral commitment, a fundamental option for the Gospel, humility and prayer;
when the daily events of life, which have nothing or little to do with our progressive maturing on the journey towards Christ are read schematically or simplistically, indeed childishly, so as to ascribe all setbacks to the Devil and all success to the Guardian Angels. **The practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture. **
