Saint Faustina tells us about her mystical experience with the Guardian Angel

Saint Faustina has the grace to see her guardian angel several times. He describes him as a luminous and radiant figure, a modest and serene gaze, with a ray of fire coming out of his forehead. it is a discreet presence, which speaks little, acts and above all never detaches itself from her. The Saint tells several episodes about it and I like to bring back some: for example, once in response to the question asked to Jesus "for whom to pray", her guardian angel appears to her, who orders her to follow him and leads her to purgatory. Saint Faustina says: "My guardian angel did not abandon me for a moment" (Quad. I), proof of the fact that our angels are always close to us even if we do not see them. On another occasion, traveling to Warsaw, her guardian angel makes herself visible and keeps her company. In another circumstance he recommends that she pray for a soul.

Sister Faustina lives with her guardian angel in intimate relationship, prays and often invokes receiving help and support from him. For example, it tells of a night when, annoyed by evil spirits, she wakes up and begins "quietly" to pray to her guardian angel. Or again, in spiritual retreats pray "Our Lady, the guardian angel and patron saints".

Well, according to Christian devotion, we all have a guardian angel assigned to us by God from our birth, who is always beside us and will accompany us until death. The existence of angels is certainly an intangible reality, not demonstrable by human means, but a reality of faith. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we read: “The existence of angels - A reality of faith. The existence of the spiritual, incorporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls angels is a truth of faith. The testimony of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition (n. 328). As purely spiritual creatures, they have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures. They surpass all visible creatures in perfection. The radiance of their glory testifies to this
