Feast of Guardian Angels

to light and guard, to rule and guide

Today is the Feast of Guardian Angels.

Do you pray to your guardian angel? Do you pray to your children’s angels? What about your husband’s angel?

A wise priest once advised me to pray frequently to my husband’s guardian angel.

I know the guardian angel prayer and I often invoke my children’s angels when praying for their safety. I must admit, though, that it had never before occurred to me to pray to my husband’s guardian angel.

This priest suggested that particularly when a husband and wife are in disagreement or even feeling hostile toward one another, our angels can act as intermediaries for us. They want only what is best for us and of course that will include what is best for our marriages.

“Send your angel to greet your husband before you greet him yourself at the end of the day,” this priest suggested. “And always ask your husband’s angel to draw him closer to you and closer to Christ.”

An opportunity to send your husband tiny whispers and nudges toward all that is good and holy? What wife can resist?

Angel sent by God to guide him,
Be his light and walk beside him,
Be his guardian and protect him,
On the paths of life direct him.
Amen.

It is humbling indeed to know that one day you will meet and know a being who has watched over your every action and thought with the sole purpose to protect you in the service of God!

Very humbling. I have a friend who says her guardian angel talks with her. I’ve always thought about it as a person’s (in my case, woman’s) intuition.

But she insists — Go home that way — and the message came from her guardian angel, because in her rearview mirror she saw a four car collision that she would have been in the middle of.

Prayer
To Your
Guardian
Angel

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,
Rule and guide.

Amen.





"From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their (the angels) 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 to God."

- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 336.

Guardian angels are real, since we each have one, God the Father gives each person one as a gift, the doctrine is in Psalm 91: 10-12. “Defende nos in proelium.”

Yes indeed, for those who remain quiet and confident in faith, seek the Savior and His will, for sure our Guardian Angel guides!
Is it God’s grace, or Divine Inspiration, or Our Blessed Mother’s protection. or Our Guardian Angel’s messages that we hear?
Probably all of the above, since Heaven operates in perfect harmony, in accordance with God’s infinite Love and Mercy!
JMHO
