On Our Guardian Angels

Toady, 2 October, the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Guardian Angels. As many of us are aware, each of us has been assigned, by God, a guardian angel (for which I am very grateful).

Related quote from Saint Francis de Sales: "Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you."

"The Feast of the Guardian Angels on Oct. 2 should remind us of our guardian angels and spur us on to greater devotion and use of our angel's great guidance and protection."

In a recent commentary, National Catholic Register staff writer Joseph Pronechen reflected on our guardian angels and their place in our lives.

"God most often works through His angels; He mediates His presence through them. Why is this? He is of course all-powerful and therefore does not need the mediation of the angels, but He does seem to will it. It is common in both Scripture and doctrinal traditions to ascribe to the angels the work of mediating God's presence and messages." 

In another recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the role of angels in our lives and in God;s Providence.
