2nd October - Memorial Guardian Angels

[BarbTherese]

Catholic Catechism (CCC) http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p5.htm

CCC 350: Angels are spiritual creatures who glorify God without ceasing and who serve his saving plans for other creatures: “The angels work together for the benefit of us all” (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3, ad 3).

CCC 351: The angels surround Christ their Lord. They serve him especially in the accomplishment of his saving mission to men.

CCC 352: The Church venerates the angels who help her on her earthly pilgrimage and protect every human being.

 

For the full understanding of what the Catechism teaches on the Angels, I would suggest you also read paragraphs 328-336.
