Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Assigned to help humans from birth to death, these special angels watch over us, praying and interceding for us before God.
Because they are spiritual beings, their presence is not discernible by human sight, yet they often protect us from physical harm without our awareness. Above all, they are very active in helping us to resist temptation to prevent us from falling into sin.
Protecting us from spiritual attacks is the vital work of our guardian angels. Always by our side, they faithfully assist us daily and at the end of our lives. St. John Bosco said, “Ask your angel to console and assist you in your last moments.”
