Get to know your guardian angel. Like St. Pio, I have entrusted various tasks to my guardian angel, especially the responsibility of maintaining the list of those who have asked for my prayers. Once on that list, my angel is in charge and I can rest assured that when I offer up prayers for “the list”, everyone is included. Thank you, dearest guardian angel!

My guardian angel knows what I need before I do and steers me in the right direction. I know that sounds superficial but I believe it to be true. We should make sure that we give thanks. I will do so now. Good post.

I ask my guardian angel to whisper a bad joke in the ear of someone who needs to be cheered up.

See Matthew 18:10.

You’ve missed out on a lot of those memos based on your postings.
But they are still available to you, if you’ll but ask the Lord into your heart. Prayers up.

Wow. That’s not in scripture.
We know that there are angels, and that God sends them to do his will among his people.
Anything beyond that is pure speculation.
Definition of speculation: an idea pulled from one’s fanny, which can be wholly rebutted simply by saying Nuh-Uh.

Here is an Orthodox prayer to one's Guardian Angel:
O Angel of Christ, holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me everything wherin I have offended thee every day of my life, and protect me from all influence and temptation of the evil one. May I nevermore anger God by any sin. Pray from me to the Lord, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Most Blessed Theotokos, and of the Saints. Amen.

Without going into details, all I can say is someone or something pulled my strings in such a way that I was able to walk away from a freak auto accident without injury when I should have been killed instantly. I believe that was my guardian angel.

We were having a discussion in our prayer group last week on whether we should give our guardian angel a name. Some heard this should never be done and others said it is appropriate. What are your thoughts?

("This is My Beloved Son, Listen to Him.")
To: NYer
I can tell you that mine have been watching over me very carefully all my life, and their job has not been easy! Sometimes when I think about the close calls, I shudder. I am eternally grateful. I thank them from the depths of my heart, every day and every moment of every day. They have guided me through an otherwise impossible labyrinth and brought me to this earthly paradise.
They are, of course, God's messengers and agents, and it is to Him that I am truly grateful.
Note tagline.

Wait, praying to an angel? Should you do that?
