Nyer, I couldn't get your links to work, but this is from the article that Salvation posted (#27), "Are there really such things as guardian angels?" speaking of Matthew 18:10: This Scripture seems to imply that children have personal angels, “their angels,” that sit very close to God. Is this a reference to guardian angels? I believe it is the closest we come.

I believe it is quite a stretch for the Bishop to say: "Scripture says we are given an angel as a guardian to watch over us and guide us." I wish it were true, but we have no way of knowing.

That's because you need to go to the major link - "Read More".

That each person has a guardian angel, is not dogma. However, based on the Scripture, that angels accompany us through life. You can't see thoughts but you know people have them; does that mean they don't exist?

Even the unborn, the Holy Innocents, have an angel, a guardian angel, because they are a human being. OK?
