Everything that the Guardian Angels do in our life

The guardian angel is an angel who, according to Christian tradition, accompanies each person in life, helping them in difficulties and guiding them towards God.

The guardian angel has the main purpose of keeping the faithful away from temptations and sin, and of leading his soul to deserve eternal salvation in Paradise. The secondary purpose is the realization and the earthly happiness of the individual, beyond human weakness and misery.

The angel is invoked with the traditional prayer of the Angel of God.

In respect of the free will of man created in the image and likeness of God, the guardian angel directs, without being able to determine them in a causal sense, the choices towards an act in conformity with the divine will, manifested in the ten commandments and in the Mosaic law, in the law natural morality, in the individual life plan that God possesses for each individual man and is ready to reveal, until the realization of his talents as a servant and son, and his earthly happiness.

The guardian angel is a recurring person in the lives of many Saints; in several countries there is a strong and particular devotion. The angel is part of a hierarchy, through which it can therefore be invoked also indirectly through a prayer to the holy archangels, or to the Holy Family of Nazareth.
