We often think we walk through life alone—but heaven says otherwise. Each of us has a guardian angel, a companion assigned by God Himself. Not a storybook character with wings and glitter, but a real presence guiding, warning, and protecting us.
This isn’t a cute superstition. The Bible speaks of it clearly: “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11). Jesus Himself pointed to the truth when He said that children’s angels are always before the face of the Father.
The feast of the Holy Guardian Angels was set for the whole Church in 1670 by Pope Clement X. Since then, every October 2 is a reminder that we are never left on our own. God’s love is constant, and He sends His angels to prove it—quiet protectors who walk beside us, even when we don’t notice.
Many of us first learned about guardian angels as kids, praying “Angel of God, my guardian dear…” every night. If we had carried that same faith into adulthood, maybe life would be less reckless, maybe we’d be wiser. But people often tag it as a childish thing and let it fade, as if angels retired when we grew up. Truth is, they never stopped watching over us—we just stopped believing.
The lesson is simple but deep: we’re not abandoned. The presence of our guardian angel invites us to trust more, fear less, and choose the better road. It’s God’s way of saying, “I’ve got you covered.”
The prayer many forgot, though the angels never forgot about us.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here.
Ever this day, be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
