- Guardian Angels

A guardian angel is a spirit who protects and guides a particular person. Guardian angels protect the body and present prayers to God, protecting whichever person God assigns them to.

A recent poll published in Time magazine revealed that 69 percent of Americans believe in angels, and 46 percent of that group believe they have a personal guardian angel.

Is all this just superstitious folly? Is the idea of guardian angels just a human invention designed to help people cope with difficult problems? Or are they real beings?

The matter cannot be proved or disproved definitively. Perhaps only your own faith or experience can determine their reality for you. If you believe you have had an experience or encounter with an angelic being, please write and tell us about it. Your true story will be included in a future article.
