Faith In The Home: Guardian Angels

Dr. Antonia Braithwaite, the Marriage and Family Life Coordinator for the Diocese of East Anglia, wrote an article to help children understand the role of guardian angels. The text explains that these angels serve as lifelong companions assigned by God to protect children from harm, assist them in making good decisions, and guide them toward God.

The article suggests that children can talk to their guardian angels through prayer whenever they feel lonely, afraid, or tempted. Braithwaite recommends using the traditional prayer, Angel of God, to help children build this relationship. The Church celebrates the feast of guardian angels on 2 October.
