“Guardian Angels Explained | On Angels, Protection & Spiritual Guidance” ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

What does your Guardian Angel actually do—and how involved can he become in your daily life? In this fascinating lecture, Fr. Chad Ripperger explains Catholic teaching and theological traditions concerning the nature of angels, their intellect and will, the nine choirs, how angels communicate, and the unique mission of the Guardian Angel. Fr. Ripperger explains that your Guardian Angel is far more active than you may realize and discusses how prayer and devotion can deepen your cooperation with his assistance. He recounts the story of Padre Pio and his Guardian Angel and explains the extraordinary idea that your angel’s first choice in accepting his God-given mission was an act of love toward you. The lecture also explores temptation, custody of the senses, the angels assigned to families, priests, parishes and nations, why Catholics should not name their Guardian Angels, and practical ways to ask your angel for help with prayer, study, discernment, memory, emotions, spiritual defects and growth in holiness. Fr. Ripperger also answers audience questions concerning demons, purgatory, exorcism, angelic knowledge, family spiritual struggles and how angels assist us throughout life. Above all, this lecture is an invitation to recognize one of God's remarkable gifts: the heavenly companion appointed to help lead us toward salvation. “Angel of God, my guardian dear… ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.” 00:00 Opening Prayer 00:29 Guardian Angels: Where Do We Begin? 00:46 What Are Angels? 02:04 How Angels Communicate 03:11 The Hierarchy of Angels 05:02 How Angels Know Things 06:10 What Angels Cannot Know 07:49 How Angels Communicate With Us 09:22 Custody of the Mind & Senses 11:05 Recognizing Angelic Promptings 12:41 Why Good Angels Often Go Unnoticed 14:25 Get Your Guardian Angel More Involved 14:43 Padre Pio & His Guardian Angel 16:29 The Nine Choirs & Your Guardian Angel 18:06 Why Your Angel Was Created for You 20:39 Your Guardian Angel’s First Act of Love 21:42 Practical Devotion to Your Angel 23:45 Ask Your Angel to Reveal Your Defects 25:28 Guardian Angels of Priests 26:36 Guardian Angels of Families & Marriages 27:42 Why You Should NOT Name Your Guardian Angel 30:28 Angels of Churches, Dioceses & Nations 31:49 Extraordinary Guardian Angel Interventions 32:42 Help With Memory, Anger & Temptation 33:35 Pray to Your Guardian Angel Every Day 34:21 Q&A Begins 35:09 What Happens to Our Angel After Death? 37:02 Apocryphal Angel Names 38:04 Archangels & the Angelic Choirs 41:53 Demonic Possession & the Soul 43:15 St. Michael & the Humiliation of Satan 45:50 Do Angels Have Emotions? 49:32 Families & Generational Spiritual Struggles 50:09 Daily Guardian Angel Devotion 52:21 Guardian Angels & Demonic Temptation 54:30 Why Not Ask Your Angel His Name? 56:07 Can Angels Travel? 58:39 Your Children & Their Guardian Angels 59:04 Guardian Angels of Nations 1:01:02 Exorcism & Spiritual Warfare 1:02:55 Protection Through Christ 1:05:28 Closing Blessing For more sermons & lectures please visit For more by Fr.
