Okay, here’s what you need to know from Trending with Timmerie about guardian angels that might just blow your mind. Sure, we often think of our guardian angels as these protective figures keeping us from car crashes or other mishaps, but they do so much more!

First off, angels are pure spirit: no bodies, but they can still interact with the material world. Their main mission? To help guide us spiritually, keeping us focused on God and resisting temptation. Timmerie reminds us that they’re constantly in the presence of God, gazing at His face, which is pretty amazing. 🙏

Fun fact: Angels are actually fascinated by the Incarnation (when Jesus became human). They don’t get to receive Jesus in the Eucharist like we do, but they’re with us in spirit when we receive Holy Communion. Invite your guardian angel to be present during Mass next time!

Guardian angels don’t just protect us physically; they help us in spiritual battles. They inspire us to grow in virtue, resist temptation, and even engage in asceticism (self-denial) to train our desires and keep them in check. Whether it’s skipping that dessert or holding back a rude comment, your angel is there, nudging you to say “no” for your own good.

Your angel is also battling against fallen angels (yes, demons!) who try to manipulate us away from God. It’s an epic spiritual war, and our angels are front-line defenders!

Stay close to your guardian angel by praying the simple yet powerful “Angel of God” prayer. They’re our partners in the spiritual journey, helping us grow holier every day!
