Guardian Angels: God’s Heavenly Champion
20 Ways our Guardian Angels Help Up
by: Stephen Beale – Catholic Exchange
Imagine you had a bodyguard who was always with you. He did all the usual bodyguard things like protecting you from danger, warding off assailants, and generally keeping you safe in all situations. But he also did more than this: he offered you moral guidance, helped you become a stronger person, and led you to your ultimate calling in life.
We don’t have to imagine it. We already have such a bodyguard. Christian tradition calls them guardian angels. Their existence is supported by Scripture and Catholics believe in them
But too often we neglect to tap this great spiritual resource. In order to better enlist the aid of guardian angels, it might help to have a better appreciation of they can do for us. Here are 20 ways:
1. Ward off Demons
2. Protect Us From Harm
3. Strengthen us Against Temptation
4. Give Us Courage and Confidence
5. Intervene Miraculously to Save us From Trouble
6. Guard Us Beginning at Our Birth
7. Guard All of Us – Including Unbelievers
