Is our guardian angel guarding us by our side 24/7? If there are demons that cross our paths can our guardian angel see them and vice versa, can the demon see the angel by our side peotecting us?

Why do demons approach a soul if they can visually see a guardian angel beside us? Do they gang up on the angel and distract it, while others attack a soul?

Are some more powerful demons stronger than the lowest ranking angels?

Sorry for all the questions, they just came to me and I got curious.
 
Well first of all how good are your relations with your guardian Angel? 🙂

If you neglect to ask him for his protection or worse completely abandon yourself to a life of debauchery and heathenism, maybe you will not be protected or you might :cool:

God can be pretty mercifull after all.

If you walk the narrow path, pray a lot, remember your guardian Angel I think you will be OK 👍

Peace 👍
 
Daniel (in Daniel chapter 10) was met by an angel who said to him: "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes (angels), came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” So, clearly there are angels that are stronger than others, and as they battle the enemy and his minions, they can be “delayed” but there’s no Scripture that says they are overcome or defeated by satan or his demons.

To me, the most important thing for us to know is that without Christ, we can be easily defeated (and targeted) by satan or his demons, but in Christ we are completely safe. His power is so much greater that it’s hard for our little minds to even grasp it.

Make sure you have on the Armor of Christ in Eph. 6:10-18 - *“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” *

Yes but what about Padre Pio, why was he beaten so many times? Although demonic attacks can be brought about because of sin many victims are innocent, Why?
 
“be careful not to harm these little ones for their angels in heaven ALWAYS behold the face of my Heavenly Father”

Always by our side!

THe demonic as we know are very prideful and a ruled by their malice, pride and their own emptiness and doom.

Does temptation come to you at mass in front of the blessed sacrament ? Before Gods very sacramental presence ??? SURE! If so…than it can come before one of his angels as well.

If there is a possibility of causing man to fall…the demonic will always give it a try…even if it may cause them much harm.

By the way, there is no distracting Gods angels…they are ever vigilant, always there and ready, and are COMPLETELY focused with their whole being to give honor and glory to God in their duty with us. HOWEVER, …like God…our angels can be made “ineffective” by our own will and doings.

GOd bless

God Permits bad ONLY to bring about a greater good.

This is a lesson of primary importance in the spiritual life.

God permits certain things to certain souls to heal, grow, and sanctify them according to their state in life.
 
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Code: 
That is the answer along the lines  I was looking for.  The origin of all suffering, it's existence and the reason it is here solely is God permits it for the greater good.  Undoubtedly,  the devil & his hosts, both spiritual & human,  are associated with suffering.
All suffering can be said to be for the Glory of God. Firstly. so that the individual would be raised to a greater sanctity in Heaven. Secondly, for the salvation of other souls, vocations, souls in purgatory, families etc… Suffering whether through possession, oppression, infestations, temptations conforms us to Christ, who said “take up your Cross daily, deny yourself, and follow me.” Jesus Christ did not perform miracles just to relieve our ills. He used these “signs” and wonders to prove to us His Divinity, that His Kingdom had arrived to believe in Him as our Savior. Although some people may be personally guilty of sin that brought on possession, many are victims, innocent of blame. St. Paul says “I make up in my body what is lacking to the suffering of Christ.” And in another place, "I begged the Lord to take this angel of Satan from me, but the Lord said “My grace is sufficient for thee.”
Code: 
   The  Devil himself constantly repeats "The path to Heaven is hard." Jesus warns us "few find it."  All good Catholics are Christians  &  the goal of Christianity is for us to enter the Kingdom of  Heaven.   Christ came to open Gates of  Heaven to all who accept Him.

   Padre Pio's life was dedicated to bringing people to Heaven. He was a great confessor.  Everything he did was for Christ.  Padre Pio interceded into the lives of those trapped by the devil and the devil literally beat him for doing so. Now he awaits for each and every of his spiritual children to enter Heaven.

   Our guardian angels are with us always.  I know of a mother and her son who as it is their custom were praying the Rosary  before bed.  As they said the Rosary they could hear others praying with them.  I have no doubt that this was their Guardian Angels praying with them.  

   The devil and demons can't over power any Holy Angel.  They tried once and it didn't work.  But they can surely tempt us and  we surely are capable of sinning.

   I know that I forget about my  Guardian Angel and have fallen into sin.  But  I have taken up the habit of apologizing to my Angel for refusing to listen to his quiet inspirations.  I thank him for the many times he has snatched me from the jaws of death and saving me.  This has become a part of my daily prayers.

  Holy Angels are incapable of sin just as demons are incapable of doing anything good.   We need to listen and act upon our Guardian Angel's inspiration to do good things.

  Inspirations from Heaven never lead us into sin.  I believe that is the fundamental rule governing all discernment.  Whether it be from the Holy Spirit or our Guardian Angels, or our patron Saint,  Heavenly inspirations will never lead one to any sin.

 All of Heaven even Jesus Christ is praying for us to overcome temptation & resist sin so that we may enter into the Kingdom of God.   So we should pray for ourselves and others but especially for Jesus Christ's earthly vicars the clergy of the Catholic Church especially  Pope Francis &  Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Ahh that is a very good question.
I believe that the more holy you are ie the closer to Jesus you are the more the evil one will attack you.
It stands to reason I mean it is totally logical.

If you are an ally of him he won’t bother you. Therefore he concentrates his attacks to the most holy ones.

THAT is why we need to pray for our priests, bishops and Pope.
They are our first line of defence.

Peace 👍
