Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us On The Feast of the Guardian Angels

Stand In The Gap With Us On The Feast of the Guardian Angels 10/2/2023

Guardian Angels Day comes around once a year on October 2. It is a day that seeks to recognize the protective roles that guardian angels have in our lives.

Incorporate the Guardian Angel prayer into your daily prayer routine in the morning or at night. Have an “angel” themed meal. (Consider angel hair pasta with angel food cake for dessert! Or how about some chicken wings followed by angel wings for dessert?)

The feast of the guardian angels reminds us that we are not without spiritual help on our journey through life. The watchful care and intercession of the angels are but a reflection of the even greater watchful care and intercession of the Lord.

Originally this feast celebrated only St. Michael, and in some places was even a holy day of obligation. Eventually there arose a request to have a separate feast in honor of the guardian angels, those angelic spirits who are assigned by God to guide and protect each human soul.
