The concept of a guardian angel is common to several religious and spiritual traditions. This expression refers to a celestial entity tasked with protecting each person from birth. In Christianity, this protector is described as a benevolent presence that guides the individual on their life path and shields them from evil. Regardless of your personal beliefs, you can call upon this spiritual companion to help you overcome difficulties. We will explain how to know and invoke your guardian angel.
What is a guardian angel?
In many spiritual and religious traditions, the guardian angel is presented as a celestial protector assigned to each person from birth. This idea can be found in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as well as in new forms of spirituality.
Already in the Old Testament, Jews believed that each newborn was entrusted to the particular protection of an angel, and the Catholic Church has maintained this belief. It describes these benevolent protectors as messengers of God, playing the role of spiritual guides and intermediaries between the divine and the human world.
The exact nature of these celestial guardians varies according to individual beliefs, but they are generally regarded as the embodiment of purity, light, and unconditional love. In Christian religion, they are the manifestation of divine love and testify that each person is protected and loved in a way that transcends human understanding.
Many people, regardless of their beliefs, think that guardian angels watch over them. They also believe that they can call upon them because angels do not merely watch over us from afar… They can intervene in our lives to ward off danger or to guide us on the right path.
How to know my guardian angel?
In the Catholic religion, many saints have had the vision of their guardian angel. Pope Francis calls it "our traveling companion" because he knows us personally and is always present by our side on our life journey.

How to invoke my guardian angel?
Now that you know the name of your guardian angel, you are probably wondering to what extent this celestial messenger can help you and what you can ask of him on a daily basis...
Remember that if you want to benefit from his support, you need to ask for it: a guardian angel is not supposed to intervene unless you request it... except in cases of great danger. Don't be shy! Angels are always there to provide their support, guidance, and protection to humans.
Their influence on the earthly world is generally subtle, but it is said that they can inspire thoughts, feelings, or dreams, and even, in particular circumstances, convey a message from God. If you sometimes have revelations during your meditations or prayers, it is possible that they were whispered to you by your angel. This guide is here to bring you fragments of divine light in the moments when you need it most.
When you need support, you can ask for help from the angel of the day by sending him a prayer or to your own guardian angel if it is a specific request. For example, you can draw inspiration from a short prayer to the guardian angel found on the website of the diocese of Besançon:
O you, my angel, my friend,
Whom God has placed beside me.
You are the guardian of my life,
Watch over me!
If you seek the help of angels, remember to thank them each time. The relationships between humans and angels are built on the heart, love, and trust.
