It is a certain teaching of our Faith that each
of us has a Guardian Angel
"Every one of the faithful has his own
special guardian angel from baptism. (Sent. certa.)" (Ott, L.
(1957). FCD. 120–121)
Furthermore, "According to the general
teaching of the theologians, however, not only every baptized person, but every
human being, including unbelievers, has his own special guardian angel from his
birth. This view is biblically founded on the words of Our Lord. Mt.
18:10" (ibid)
Mt 18:10 - "See that you
despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in
heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."
A look
at the Early Church Father's understanding of Mt 18:10 further reveals the Church's
teaching
“Therefore are they not to be despised for that
they are so dear to God, that Angels are deputed to be their guardians” (St.
Anselm)(Catena Aurea, Thomas Aquinas, S., &
Newman, J. H. (1841).
“I esteem it, O my God, an inestimable
benefit, that thou hast granted me an angel to guide me from the moment of my
birth, to my death.” (St Augustine, De dilig. Deo. Medit. c. xii)( Haydock, G.
L. (1859). Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary)
