Why We Should Consecrate Ourselves to Our Guardian Angels

Tradition and Sanity

"In ancient times, and before the Second Vatican Council, the reality of the guardian angels was stressed more. After the Council, there was a diminished veneration of the holy angels; a kind of obliviousness to the supernatural and invisible world of the angels rolled in across the ecclesial landscape. Devotion to the holy angels is therefore a very powerful means of turning again toward the supernatural, of leaving behind this naturalistic tendency for the sake of the life of grace, and of becoming aware that God has given every man a personal brother, his guardian angel. Each of the baptized has a unique guardian angel, who has never served as guardian to anyone else. And he will not be the guardian angel of another."
