In this Faith in the Home article, Dr Antonia Braithwaite, Marriage & Family Life Coordinator, provides an introduction for children to Guardian Angels, explaining how they offer protection, guide us closer to God and can be called upon in prayer.
Did you know that you have a very special, invisible friend who is always with you, no matter where you are or what you’re doing? From the moment you were born, God gave you a Guardian Angel to be your lifelong companion.
Your Guardian Angel is always by your side! Their special mission is to keep you safe from harm, help you make good choices, and always guide your heart closer to God.
Because they are always with you and care for you so deeply, it is important to get to know them! You can talk to your angel throughout the day, just like you talk to a best friend. Whenever you feel scared, lonely, or tempted to make a bad choice, you can pray to them.
A wonderful way to start is by praying this classic Catholic prayer every single day:
“Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day [or night] be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.”
With your angel by your side, you are never truly alone and can always count on them to help you!
On 2 October, the Church celebrates a joyful feast dedicated to our dear Guardian Angels.
