4 reasons to invoke your Guardian Angel

 

There are 4 basic reasons we have for invoking our Guardian Angel.

The first: true worship of God.
Heavenly Father himself tells us in the Bible that we must invoke our Guardian Angel and listen to his voice. He will order his angels to guard you in all your steps. On their hands they will bring you so that you do not stumble your foot on the stone "(Psalm 90,11-12) and to lead it to the homeland of heaven:" Behold, I am sending an angel before you to keep you on the path and to let you enter the place I have prepared ”(Book of Exodus 23,20-23). Peter, in prison, was freed by his guardian angel (Acts 12,7-11. 15). In defense of the little ones, Jesus said that their angels always see the face of the Father in heaven (Gospel of Matthew 18,10:XNUMX).

The second: it suits us. The Guardian Angel is placed beside us by God to help us and support us, therefore, to be his friend and to invoke him is convenient for us since he acts for our good.

The Third: we have duties towards them. Here is what Saint Bernard says: “God has entrusted you to one of his angels; how much respect you must inspire this word, how much devotion you arouse, how much confidence to instill in you! Respect for his presence, love and gratitude for his good works, trust in his protection ". So it is our duty as a good Christian to venerate our Guardian Angel.

The fourth: his devotion is an ancient practice. From the beginning there has been the cult of the Guardian Angels and although there are various religions in contrast, the existence of the Angels and our Guardian Angel is accepted by all. Even in the Bible the Old Testament reads the event of Jacob with his Angel.

We venerate our Guardian Angel every day. Here are some prayers to do it.
