Matthew 18:1-5, 10
Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels
©️2021 Gloria M. Chang
At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
Matthew 18:1-5, 10
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”
Guardian Angels Guide Us to the Father
God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible, placed Christ at the center of the angelic world. Every child made in the image of the Incarnate Son of God receives a guardian angel at conception to guide them in their journey home to the Father. As “their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father,” they intercede and light the way through Christ in the Spirit to the heart of the Father.
From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their 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 in God.

Prayer to My 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, to rule and guide.
Amen.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
Be at my side, guiding, ever near.

Thank you, Gloria! The Rosarians loved your content that I sent to them!! May God continue to grace you and bless you…and continue to guide in your profound faith AND prodigious talent!!
Thank you, Father Victor, for your posts…as I said in a previous Comment…what is life without you helping us deep dive into Scripture and come out alive…not the exact words…but the exact sentiment…
Tell Father John Powers that I never forget him my prayers. He was my Spiritual director EXTRAORDINAIRE. And, like he once said to me, may God bless you “all ways and always!” And, by the workings of the Holy Spirit, He has!!
