Guardian Angels in Scripture, Liturgy & Daily Life (2 October) ~ Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP

About this sermon

The modern world is fascinated by aliens, ghosts, demons, and the supernatural—yet belief in the Holy Angels is often forgotten. This Catholic sermon turns our attention back to the invisible created spirits God has appointed to assist us on our journey toward Heaven. What exactly is an angel? Why does Scripture call them messengers? How can our Guardian Angels protect and guide us? And why should Catholics actively ask for their assistance? Drawing upon the Book of Tobias, the sermon looks at St. Raphael the Archangel, who accompanies, guides, protects, and delivers Tobias from danger. It also explains why Catholics should avoid inventing names for their Guardian Angels and instead confidently address them simply as the angels God has given us. The sermon then turns to one of the most beautiful realities of Catholic worship: the angels at Holy Mass. From St. Michael and the Confiteor to the Gloria, Creed, Sanctus, Canon, and traditional prayers after Low Mass, the sacred liturgy continually reminds us that we worship alongside the heavenly hosts. We are also encouraged to ask our Guardian Angel—and even the Guardian Angel of someone with whom we are struggling—to help bring about reconciliation and peace. Finally, Fra Angelico’s image of the resurrection points toward the day when, by God's grace, the faithful will finally see the heavenly messengers who assisted them throughout earthly life. Angel of God, my guardian dear… be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.
