10 Things to Know About Your Guardian Angel

According to Christian tradition, each of us has a Guardian Angel, who accompanies us. From birth until death, remaining at our side at every moment of our life. The idea of ​​a spirit, a supernatural entity that follows and watches over each human being was already present in other Greek religions and philosophies. In the Old Testament, we read that the Creator is surrounded by a veritable court of celestial figures. They worship him and perform actions in his name.

Already in these ancient books, we find frequent references to the angels sent by the Creator as protectors of his people. In the Gospel, Jesus invites us to respect even the smallest and most humble. Referring to their angels who, from heaven, watch over them and contemplate the face of the Creator at all times.  

The Guardian Angel is therefore linked to all those who live in divine grace. The fathers of the Church, such as Tertullian, Saint Augustine, Saint Ambrose, Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Jerome and Saint Gregory of Nysostoma , supported the existence of a guardian angel for each person. And although there has not yet been a dogmatic formulation regarding this figure. Already during the Council of Trent (1545-1563) it was affirmed that every human being has his own angel.

From the 17th century onwards, popular devotion spread and Pope Paul V included the feast of the guardian angels in the calendar.  Even in sacred representations and especially in popular devotional images, Guardian Angels began to appear, usually depicted in the act of protecting children from harm.

In fact, it is especially from children that we are encouraged to dialogue with our guardian angel and to address our prayers to him. As this blind trust, this unconditional love for a reassuring invisible presence develops, it is lost.  This is what we must remember to find her next to us:

Guardian angels exist and have always existed.

The Gospel affirms it, the Scriptures support it in countless examples and episodes. The Catechism teaches us from a very young age to feel this presence at our side and to trust in it.  

Our Guardian Angel is not created with us at the moment of our birth. He has always existed, since the moment the Creator created all the angels. It was a single episode, a single moment when the divine will engendered all the angels, by the thousands.

There is an angelic hierarchy

Angels also differ in their tasks and especially in their position in heaven in relation to the divine. Certain angels in particular are selected to pass a test and, if they pass it, they are called Guardian Angels. When a child is born, one of these angels is chosen to stand by his side until death and beyond.  

Our Angel guides us on the path to Heaven

Our Angel cannot force us to follow the path of good. He cannot decide for us, he cannot impose choices on us. We are and remain free. But his role is precious, important. As a silent and trustworthy advisor, he remains at our side, trying to advise us for the best, to suggest the right path to follow, to obtain salvation, to deserve Paradise , especially to be good Christians.  

Our Angel never abandons us

In this life and in the next, we will know that we can count on him. On this invisible and special friend , who never leaves us alone.  

Our Angel is not the spirit of a dead person

Although it is nice to think that when someone we love dies, they become an Angel. And as such, they come back to our side, this is unfortunately not the case. Our Guardian Angel cannot be someone we have known in life. Nor a member of our family who died prematurely. They have always existed, they are a spiritual presence generated directly by God .

 Our Guardian Angel has no name

In the Scriptures are mentioned the names of some angels, such as Michael, Raphael, Gabriel. Any other name given to these celestial creatures is not documented or confirmed by the Church, and as such, it is inappropriate to claim to use it for our Angel, especially by using, to determine it, the month of birth or other imaginative methods.  

Our Angel fights alongside us with all his strength

We must not think that we have at our side a plump putto playing the harp. Our Angel is a warrior, a strong and courageous fighter , who stands by our side in every battle of life. He protects us when we are too fragile to do it alone.  

Our Guardian Angel is also our personal messenger

In Abrahamic religions, but also in other types of religious and philosophical beliefs, they are mainly considered as divine envoys or messengers responsible for bringing our messages to the Creator, and vice versa .

Tradition recognizes several categories of angels, including guardian angels also called protective angels. Which are assigned to the protection of the salvation of men. Thus each man has a protective angel who accompanies him and watches over him throughout his life.  

The Angelic Hierarchy

The angels are subdivided into nine choirs , themselves grouped into three hierarchies.  

The three hierarchies gradually rise from man to God.  

• The Higher Beings: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones. They constitute the first hierarchy, the closest to the Creator. They represent the Creator in his perfection: his Holiness and his love.  

• Intermediate Beings: Dominations, Powers, Virtues. They constitute the second hierarchy of angels. They represent the Lord in his sovereignty over creatures: divine strength and justice.  

• The Beings of Light or Guardians: Principalities, Archangels, Angels . They constitute the third hierarchy, the closest to men. They represent the Eternal, in his action outside: his testimonies of goodness, his celestial revelations.  

What is the name of the Guardian Angel associated with your day of birth?

Angels belong to the hierarchy of guardian angels and each one watches over us according to the day of our birth and astrological sign. They provide us with special protection during the period in which we were born. But outside of these specific dates, we can call him at any time to ask for his help and protection.

How to hear your Guardian Angel?

To hear your guardian angel , you must open your mind. If you approach life only from a rational point of view, you have little chance of hearing it. Obviously, these are not beings that we meet in the physical world, to hear them you must place yourself in a more spiritual dimension . It is easier to communicate with angels for those who are used to meditating and listening to their inner voice.  

The 3 ways to invoke your Guardian Angel

First of all, you need to know the name of your guardian angel . Then, each of us can get in touch with our angel to ask for advice. Or to confide our hopes or fears. You simply have to speak to him with your heart, with your words. You can speak to him silently or out loud, it doesn't matter much. Your sincerity is paramount.

However, angels are superior beings and attracting their attention is not so simple. If you cannot do this, the best way is to go through a medium who can act as an intermediary.  You can ask a guardian angel for anything, as long as you don't give him an order. That it's not a harmful action that could harm others.  

Prayer  

To talk to your angel, choose a calm and relaxing place. The best is to pray to your angel always at the same time, during his hours of regency and always in the same place. For your prayers to be more effective, turn towards the East. This is the side where the sun rises, the positive energies are therefore more important there.

Turn off your phone to make sure no one disturbs you during this communication time.  Light some incense and a candle with the angel's name engraved on it. If your guardian angel doesn't show you any signs, feel free to let the candle burn until the next morning.  

Meditation

Meditation is a great way to open your mind and heart to your guardian angel.  Choose a quiet place at home or outside, sit down, then clear your mind and breathe deeply.  Think about the air going into your nostrils and filling your lungs. Focus on the different parts of your body.

Think of each part independently of the rest of the body (this is a somewhat complex phase that requires a little training). Then, once you are totally relaxed, your mind is empty, try to visualize your soul. This is when you will have to think very hard about your guardian angel by repeating his name. If he decides to answer you, you will quickly understand.  

Writing to your guardian angel  

In case of an existential crisis you can write a letter to your angel . This letter should be written on a sheet of paper on which you will have written the date and the name of your guardian angel. Then, describe to him what worries you, what you wish. Let your heart guide your pen, then end your letter by thanking your angel for his intervention and sign.  

To mail your letter, hold it by the bottom, over a sink, then burn the top of the letter going from left to right and let it burn before letting go at the last moment.  

Wait for your guardian angel's answer. If after a while your angel still hasn't answered you, it may be that your goal is not the right one. By remaining silent, your angel is making you understand that you are not on the right path. Ask him to guide you on the right path.  

How to interpret messages from angels?

To understand your guardian angel's response, you still need to interpret the messages he sends you. What are the methods used by guardian angels to contact us?  

• Mirror hours  

If during your days you often see mirror hours ( 11:11 , 22:22, etc.) or reversed hours (like 12:21, for example), know that it is not a coincidence, it is your angel trying to tell you something.  

• The chills  

You are in great shape, you are hot, but you still shiver? This is a sign of the presence of your angel . Most often, these shivers occur in a sacred place, when we have to make a difficult decision. Or when an unpleasant event is about to happen.  

• Your pet is behaving strangely  

Animals' senses are highly developed, they are more sensitive to energies. That's why if your pet is acting strangely, it's probably because he perceives a new presence: that of your guardian angel.  

• The guardian angel in your daily life !  

As you already know, the mission of every guardian angel is to lead each of us to heaven and eternal salvation. But you need to know the best way to relate to him in your daily life.  
To be able to communicate with your guardian angel , you must place yourself in a spiritual dimension. The first and meditation are the best ways to invoke it.
