Msgr. Esseff begins a series of teachings on The Holy Angels. In this episode, he discusses our GUARDIAN ANGELS.

He addresses many topics including:

-The nature of the Guardian Angel

-Why the Guardian Angels accompany us.

-The difference between "giving your angel a name" and asking the Guardian Angel their name

-How and why the Guardian Angel desires to serve us

-How our Guardian Angel stays by our side no matter what. How our Guardian Angel can minister to us in pain, confusion, fear, and other areas of suffering

A prayer to our Guardian Angel

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,
Rule and guide.
Amen.

"From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their (the angels) watchful care and intercession. Beside 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 to God."

- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 336.
