The Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph
336 says:
From its
beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and
intercession. “Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd
leading him to life.” Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith
in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
Thoughts: Amy Grant had a song years ago called, "Angels Watching Over Me". The refrain went, "Angels watching over me every step I take". Awe inspiring to think that we are
constantly surrounded by angels. Angels in their cherubic state watching us
from womb to grave leading us to a life in communion with Jesus Christ is a comforting thought. At mass we join our prayers to those of the angels praising
God, “Hosanna in the highest”. I fix my eyes on Jesus on the cross while we
sing, “Glory to God in the highest” and I feel lifted up, drawn to Him. Perhaps
it is my angel gently guiding me. The angels exist not for their own
edification but for the glory of God. And so it is to be with us.
