GUARDIAN ANGELS


I am convinced that we all have a guardian angel. Guardian angels are spiritual beings that are assigned to help us to live a safe and meaningful life on earth. We often associate deeds done by our guardian angel as the result of “luck”, “coincidence” or a “miracle”. I believe that you can talk to your guardian angel and the angel will answer.

If you need further convincing that these Celestial Servants exist I suggest that you turn to Acts 12:6-10, Psalms 103:20-21; Kings ^: 13-17; Isaiah 37:33-36 and Mathew 18:10. If you will believe in your guardian angel he will soon touch you! 

Be careful that you not worship angels for that would be idolatry. Always remember that angels are controlled by God and are only to assist us. Saint Jerome in his commentary on Matthew said, “How great the dignity of the soul, since each one has from his birth an angel commissioned to guard it.” 

We all walk through the valley of the shadow of death and yet we truly deep down fear no evil, because in our soul we know that we have a guardian angel. Perhaps this is why young people have such a sense of immortality. They tend to be more in touch with their guardian angel. However adults as they become elderly regain their close contact with their guardian angel. Have you noticed how elderly people love to watch religious shows on television? I believe the guardian angel really enjoys watching them as well. 

So if by now you think that I have lost my mind try this experiment: Try to think about two different things at the same time. It is impossible to do because your guardian angel keeps you focused on one thing at a time for your own protection. If you still think I have lost my mind a Time magazine poll revealed that 69 percent of people in the United States believe in angels, and 46 percent of those believe they have a personal guardian angel. If you want a bridge over troubled waters learn how to connect with your guardian angel. There are people who seem to have the world by the tail. They are the ones who have fully connected to their guardian angel.

 In the words of my dad, You must honor the chair whether it is sitting, walking or lying down.”
