Feast day is celebrated on October 2nd
The Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels is celebrated on October 2nd in the Catholic Church. It is a day to honor and recognize the unique role that guardian angels play in our lives.
According to Catholic belief, each person is assigned a guardian angel by God to guide, protect and intercede for them throughout their life. The concept of guardian angels is rooted in Scripture, with passages such as Psalm 91:11 stating, "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."
On this day, Catholics are encouraged to reflect on the presence and assistance of their guardian angel in their spiritual journey. It is an opportunity to give thanks for the protection and guidance they provide, as well as to seek their intercession in times of need.
Many people pray to their guardian angel daily, asking for guidance, protection, and help in making right choices. They believe that their guardian angel watches over them, encourages them to do good, and assists them in avoiding harm or sin.
Devotions and prayers are offered to guardian angels on this memorial day, acknowledging their role as heavenly companions and protectors. It is a solemn reminder of the spiritual realm and the belief that God assigns angels to watch over and care for each individual.
The celebration of the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels reminds us of the loving presence of these celestial beings and encourages us to grow in our awareness and appreciation of their assistance in our journey towards God.
