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?

All creatures, be they physical or spiritual, have been named by God. Perhaps, if you develop a solid relationship with your guardian angel, you could ask him/her to reveal its name to you, but how would you recognize it. My angel has a name, unrevealed to me, which I respect.

“Perhaps, if you develop a solid relationship with your guardian angel, you could ask him/her to reveal its name to you,”

I did just that as I was falling asleep while on vacation in Hawaii. I awoke in the middle of the night with a name I had never heard before repeating in my brain. Twenty some years later my daughter was married in a church dedicated to a saint who shares the name of my angel. Coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidence. I do believe in God’s love for us and that He would provide guardians to help us navigate our way back to Him.
