Why do catholics belive in Guardian angels?
From the Catechism:

336
From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.202 "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."203 Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.

Footnote 202 refers to Mt 18:10; Lk 16:22; Ps 34:7; 91:10-13; Job 33:23-24; Zech 1:12; Tob 12:12.

Mt 18:10: “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.”

Lk 16:22: When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried…

Ps 34:7: The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God.

Ps 91:10-13:For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways. With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.

Job 33:23-24: If then there be for him an angel, one out of a thousand, a mediator, To show him what is right for him and bring the man back to justice,
He will take pity on him and say, “Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found him a ransom.”

Zech 1:12: Then the angel of the Lord spoke out and said, “O LORD of hosts, how long will you be without mercy for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that have felt your anger these seventy years?”

Tob 12:12: I can now tell you that when you, Tobit, and Sarah prayed, it was I who presented and read the record of your prayer before the Glory of the Lord; and I did the same thing when you used to bury the dead.

Think about the holocaust. Think about the stacks of bodies.

That’s how much Satan and his angels hate you. Yes, YOU because you bear the image of the immortal one who he thought he had killed.

Now wonder why you’re still alive.
 
Matthew 18: 10 ‘‘See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.’’

Acts 12: 12-15: When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”

“You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
