A Celestial Guardian: Invoking the Angel of Light
How important is it and how can we turn to our Guardian Angel? The Holy See: “The angel brings us closer to God”.
A Deeper Connection: The prayer to our guardian angel should transcend mere words; it should be a profound invocation that awakens our soul to the divine presence beside us. But how can we achieve such a connection? Pope Francis offers guidance: “The angel is authoritative and judges us, yet he also listens to our needs. And the Holy Spirit, too, plays its part: it helps and inspires us to pray to him.”
Intense Invocation: How can we pray fervently to our guardian angel? “When fear paralyzes us, our entire life grinds to a halt,” Pope Francis explains. “It’s as if we were in danger: many are afraid to step forward, to take risks. But we know that life, if stagnant and motionless, risks corruption. It’s like water: when it becomes stagnant, it is invaded by mosquitoes and becomes putrid. We must not allow our lives to become stagnant. We must ask our guardian angel for help,” he urges.
A Celestial Guide: The Holy Father is resolute in his teachings: “The guardian angel helps us, urges us to move forward. The guardian angel is not alone; through him, even God the Father is with us. The angel has a direct relationship with God.”
A Bridge to the Divine: What does the guardian angel represent for every Christian? “The guardian angel is the bridge between God and man, the bond that unites us to him from morning to evening. Let us pray to the guardian angel: he knows the path of our daily lives, the only road that leads us to God,” concludes Pope Francis.
The guardian angel is the pinnacle of mystical figures, the light that guides us closer to God. Let us follow Pope Francis’ words with true and intense devotion.
