Subject: Where are guardian angels mentioned? |
Bible Note: Rob, Dan 10:13 I think the "Prince of Persia," is one of the minions of the "Prince of this World," that is a fallen angel. Otherwise why would he contend with the angel sent to Danieel and with the abgel Michael? You are correct that the catholic Church teaches we have guardian angels. Specifically it teaches "From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.(203) "Beside each believer believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."(203)Already here on earth the Christian shares by faith in the blessed sompany of angels and men united in God." As you can see from the references below, this teaching is not entirely wwithout scriptural reference especially Matt 18:10 even if the precise term like the term "guardian angel," like the term "Trinity" is not found in any texts explicitly. 202 Cf. Mt 18:10; Lk 16:22; Pss 34:7; 91:10-13; Job 33:23-24; Zech 1:12. 203 St. Basil, Adv. Eunomium III, I: PG 29, 656B. Emmaus |
