Guardian Angels are real, personal spiritual beings assigned by God to protect and guide each human soul.
This isn’t just a sweet idea, it’s a dogma of the Catholic faith, firmly grounded in Scripture and Tradition.
>Psalm 91,11: "He will give his angels charge over you."
>Matthew 18,10: "Their angels always behold the face of my Father."
>Acts 12,15: "It is his angel!"
Angels are messengers, guardians, and protectors, always doing God's will.

Guardian Angels are distinct personal beings, not vague forces.
They have:
>Intellect and will
>Perfect obedience to God
>No physical bodies
>Unfailing love for the soul they guard
They are higher creatures than us, but they serve us in humility.

Devotion to your Guardian Angel is encouraged.
The Church teaches us to:
>Thank them
>Speak to them
>Ask their protection
>Follow their inspirations
Simple daily prayer:
"Ángele Dei, qui custos es mei, me, tibi commissum pietate superna, (Hodie, Hac nocte) illúmina, custódi, rege et gubérna. Amen"

But beware: Angels never replace Christ or the sacraments. They lead us to God, not to themselves.
And false devotion or attempts to control angels (through occult practices) are grave errors.
You should also NOT name your guardian angel, he already has a name given by God that you do not need to know.

Today, most people ignore their Guardian Angel.
But your angel is constantly fighting for you in unseen battles.
Don’t face this world alone. Ask for your angel's help in your struggles, temptations, and decisions.

Saints lived in deep friendship with their Guardian Angels.
Saint Padre Pio spoke openly with his angel and even sent his on angel on little missions.
Father Alessio Parente, who was assigned to help a fragile monk, frequently overslept. Padre Pio, knowing of this habit, instructed his guardian angel to rouse Father Parente when he was late.
This resulted in Father Parente hearing a voice and knocking at his door, prompting him to wake up and discover he was indeed late, without seeing anyone else present.
Your Guardian Angel isn't distant. They’re ready to help, even in practical things.
