The Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels
According to Catholic tradition, everyone has a personal angel guarding their bodily and spiritual well-being. “Beside each believer,” said the fourth-century theologian and bishop Saint Basil, “stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading [them] to life”—and he should know, having been called the “revealer of heavenly mysteries”! Guardian angels remind you that you are always in the presence of God and should act accordingly, and that God is also with others, whom you should treat accordingly.
TODAY’S READINGS: Job 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23 (456); Matthew 18:1-5, 10 (650)
“Do not despise one of these little ones, for . . . their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”
