About this sermon
The Church celebrates the Feast of the Guardian Angels, honoring the spiritual protectors assigned to each person. This belief is rooted in Scripture—particularly Matthew 18—where Jesus says, “Do not despise one of these little ones, for their angels in heaven always look upon the face of the Father.” Devotion to guardian angels began in the early monastic tradition with St. Benedict and later with St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The feast was officially added to the Roman calendar in 1615 by Pope Paul V. Catholics are encouraged to foster a relationship with their guardian angel through prayer. Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, host of the Godsplaining podcast, joins to answer common questions about guardian angels and offers advice for people to get to know their guardian angel better. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
