Pope Francis: Pay Attention to Your Guardian Angel

"In his homily for the Feast of Holy Guardian Angels, Pope Francis told those gathered for daily Mass to be like children who pay attention to their 'traveling companion.'

"The doctrine of the angels, the Holy Father stressed, is not imaginary, but 'reality.' Citing what Jesus has said, 'I send an angel before you to protect you, to accompany you along the path, so that you do not make mistakes!'

"According to the tradition of the Church, each of us has a guardian angel who protects us and helps make us aware of things, the Pope said at the Santa Marta residence Oct. 2. Often times, we have the feeling that 'I should do this, this is not right, be careful.' This, he said, 'is the voice of' our guardian angel: our 'traveling companion.'
