“Our weakness is such that, if the guardian angels had not been given to us, we could not resist the many and powerful attacks of the evil spirits. For this purpose, we have need of a higher nature…. That is why God has taken the spirits out from among his treasures, and has given through them an aid to human weakness, so that this divine assistance might help us against the powers of this world of darkness to attain the heritage of salvation.” Saint Hilary of Poitiers (+368)

How wise is our God to provide each of us with a guardian angel to be by our side each step of our journey! Being in the presence of God they know God’s plan for us. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their (guardian angels) watchful care and intercession. ‘Besides each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.’ Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.” (CCC 336) We need to become more aware of the presence of our guardian angel and in faith interact with this care-giver on a regular basis. This is the will of God.
