On the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels

Stephen P. White of Catholic University reflects on the feast day of the Guardian Angels (October 2):

“We should never take lightly the inestimable value of having been placed under the personal protection and guidance of such a powerful helper and guide as our guardian angels. In our guardian angels, we find a comforting reminder of God’s love for us, a sobering reminder of the stakes of the spiritual life, and a magnificent reminder of the glory of the Creator, shining through the manifold goodness of all He has created – the seen and unseen, alike.”
