Whether we believe in them or not, guardian angels are always at our side. This doesn’t refer to a friendly person who watches over us, but an actual spiritual being who silently guides and protects us.
Jesus himself confirmed this essential truth of the faith when he said, “See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).
