the wonderful help of the guardian
angels to you and the people you ask for
if you invoke and accept it
your guardian angel can help you and the
people you ask for
although many modernists maintain that
angels do not exist and are only a
literary device
the scriptures are impressively clear
about their existence and the work they
do
the first christians believed that each
person has a guardian angel who never
abandons him
they are a resource god has given us to
protect and guide us
but many people don't know that they
exist and even less know how to make use
of their favors
and even fewer know that we can ask our
angels to act on behalf of another
person
this is especially important since a
spiritual battle is taking place on
earth precisely between angels and also
between human beings who are assisted
and tempted by angels
here we will talk about who angels are
the bible's evidence of their existence
and work
and how we can use guardian angels to
act on behalf of other people
what is the root cause of attempts on
life
child abuse divorce family breakdown
alcohol abuse drug abuse pornography etc
it is the spiritual attack on the human
soul
we will never end these scourges until
we understand that the souls of the
people who commit these acts
are being attacked by agents who want to
sow evil on earth
if we don't realize where the war really
is
we will never win battles
we are first and foremost in a spiritual
battle
as saint paul warns us in ephesians
chapter 6 verse 12
quote our struggle is not against flesh
and blood
but against principalities and powers
and rulers of this present darkness and
evil spirits
end quote
and that's why he recommends that we put
on the armor of god so that we can
resist and stand firm in truth and
justice
this means that we are not in a battle
against bad people
that is only the appearance that lies
beneath a world that is losing its soul
we are in fact in a spiritual battle
and thank god that the good angelic
realm is here to fight with us
those who attack the souls of the people
are the corrupt spirits of the angelic
world
the demons
according to mary of aggression when god
created the world he then created the
angels which are a completely different
creature from us
they are 100 spirit without body
and before the creation of humanity they
were allowed to see the future
they saw that god would truly become a
human being in the incarnation of jesus
christ
and that they were to worship him in
human form as they worshipped him in the
spiritual form
this was too much for lucifer
the most beautiful and powerful angel
but also the most arrogant
he was unwilling to serve and help a way
of life inferior to his own
and to add insult to injury to lucifer
a great sign appeared in the sky which
was the same as saint john saw in the
book of revelation
a woman clothed with the sun
with the moon under her feet
and on her head a crown of twelve stars
it was the virgin mary
god explained to the angels that this
was to be their future earthly mother
purer and holier than any of the angels
he told them that he was going to come
into the world through her virginal womb
and the angels were also to serve her
and be subject to her their queen
and he showed them all the graces he
would pour into her
lucifer refused to accept this and
hurled blasphemy after blasphemy against
the lord
promising to destroy the human race and
persecute this woman
this aroused the wrath of god who told
lucifer that this woman would crush his
head and through her he would be
defeated
lucifer then enticed many other angels
to follow his rebellion
promising them that he would establish
his own kingdom apart from gods
a third of the angels rebelled alongside
him
and lucifer told the angels to follow
the plan to destroy the woman that god
said would crush his head as well as
humanity
he vowed to create many false religions
that would lead humanity away from god
he said that he would raise up many bold
and arrogant men who would do his
bidding by making sin flourish on earth
and so began in heaven the war described
in revelation chapter 12
with a minor angel saint michael the
archangel
summoning the good angels to the cry of
who is like god
and the good angels finally defeated
lucifer and the fallen angels
the fallen angels who made up one-third
of all the angels
were defeated and cast out of heaven
even angels who wanted to remain neutral
between god and lucifer were expelled
and there the fallen angels became
demons
and lucifer became satan
according to saint francis romana
a third of the wicked went to hell
including satan who was given god's
permission to perform evil deeds on
earth
another third was left in the earth's
atmosphere
and the last third is among us
from that moment a battle was waged on
earth
with demons trying to destroy the work
of god and attacking human beings
and good angels helping to fulfill god's
plan and protecting human beings
their participation in salvation history
is very significant
saint gabriel the archangel announced to
the blessed virgin mary that she was
going to be the mother of god
when her husband joseph wanted to
divorce her because of her pregnancy
an angel appeared to him in a dream to
convince him otherwise
when joseph and mary traveled to
bethlehem
the angels worked tirelessly to care for
them along the way
and when jesus was finally born
a group of shepherds who were in the
field were informed by angels of the
king's birth and were asked to spread
the news
later an angel appears to joseph to tell
him to take the child to egypt because
king herod was looking for the christ
child to kill him
after jesus was baptized by his cousin
john the baptist in the jordan river he
went on a retreat in the wilderness to
prepare for his mission and was tempted
for 40 days by satan a fallen angel
after jesus overcame satan an angel
appeared to him to minister to him
and during the agony of jesus in the
garden of gethsemane as he was sweating
drops of blood while thinking about our
sins and overwhelmed by the suffering to
come
an angel came to comfort him
when jesus was resurrected and the women
went to the tomb they found it empty
but an angel appeared to them and
directed them
after the ascension of our lord
and the angel appeared to the apostles
to explain what happened
angels don't only act during significant
events in history
each of us has a guardian angel to
protect and guide us
we have one from the first day
and he never leaves us
even if we go to purgatory
your angel goes into battle for your
soul
you can talk to him and ask him to help
you and even pray with him
padre pio for example used his guardian
angel for many requests
you must keep in mind however that
angels are servants of god
given to us to guide us so they will
only do what is in god's will
the bible is clear that guardian angels
protect us from bodily and spiritual
harm
they can do this by physically moving
objects for example
but mostly however
instilled thoughts in us that will lead
us to avoid harm and temptation
they invite us to reject evil and to do
good by stimulating good thoughts
they fight demons that assault us
which also depends on providence since
god does allow temptation at times so
that we may be strengthened
they present our prayers to god
they pray for us even when we don't
and if god allows they punish us to
correct us
but the relationship is not limited to
just your guardian angel
you can also communicate to other
people's guardian angels
for example saint jose maria escriva
when he met a person greeted the
guardian angel first
then the person
you can pray to other people's guardian
angels including your spouses your
child's your grandsons your godsons
you can ask for their conversion
you can send your guardian angel to
someone else
you can ask your guardian angel to go to
someone who is in need and pray with
your guardian angel for that person
you can even ask your guardian angel to
pray with you and another person's
guardian angel for their conversion
[Music]
you can even pray in the event that the
person is being harmful to humanity
and in the most difficult cases
you can ask for the help of more angels
it's also good practice that when a
person in front of us behaves badly or
assaults us to pray to his guardian
angel to control him
so far we've talked about how you can
use your guardian angel to convert and
protect another person and to help solve
the world's problems
but now i'd like to ask you if you use
your guardian angel and for what
[Music]
you
