I believe that every person has their own guardian angel. What do you, as a Christian, believe?

My mother has several times said that she thinks her grand father is watching over her. She is not Christian at least not an active Christian. Don't think its uncommon the people believe that..

I am not sure this is always so.
Nor do it think it is a one to one thing.
One Angel could have an interest in one person or in many people.
also several angels and saints may show an interest in the well-being of one person.

I do not believe Angels and saints work independently of God.

According to the many NDE's (Near Death Experiences) I've read, our guardian angels are those who were closest to us on earth, who have died, for instance a brother, sister, father, mother, son, daughter, etc..

It's not uncommon for a child to die and become a guardian angel to a parent still living, or the other way around, of course..

I was told by a psychic that my "main" guardian angel is a native american; but, that I have others - one of them being one who should have been a daughter to Marie and to me; unfortunately, she was mis-carried at a very early stage.

How I long to see her, and show the love I feel for her............

Theologically, each of us has a specific guardian angel to watch over us night and day (Ps 34:7, Mt 18:10, Ac 12:15), but what do we do concerning them? Do we ask for their guidance daily or ignore them? Everyday when we rise to go about our day and make a morning offering let us thank God for His mercy and pray that our guardian angel protects our body and soul in the day ahead. Please take advantage of this - for we are not alone in life! Our guardian angel is always with us! As stated in the Baltimore Catechism, "Our guardian Angels pray for us, protect and guide us, and offer our prayers, good works and desires to God" (223).

Quote:
No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, for to His Angels God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone
- Psalm 91: 10-12
Above all, get to know your guardian angel. Request their aid even in computer and Internet trouble or traffic jams. Angels are spiritual creatures with remarkable intelligence yet no free will. As stated in the Baltimore Catechism, "Angels are pure spirits without a body, created to adore and enjoy God in heaven" (216). They serve God completely and devotion to our guardian angels can only lead us closer to Jesus Christ. Early Christians were devoted to angels. Origen (225 AD): "Every believer — although the humblest in the Church — is said to be attended by an angel, who the Savior declares always beholds the face of God the Father. Now, this angel has the purpose of being his guardian."

The idea that we each have a guardian angel is a nice one. I can see why people are drawn to it, but I don't believe the scriptures teach such a doctrine. Consequently, I don't personally believe it.

From St. Bernard:
"And so, that nothing in heaven should be wanting in your concern for us, You send those blessed spirits to serve us, assigning them as our guardians and our teachers.

"'He has given his angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways.'

"These words should fill you with respect, inspire devotion and instill confidence: respect for the presence of angels, devotion because of their loving service, and confidence because of their protection.

"And so the angels are here; they are at your side, they are with you, present on your behalf. They are here to protect you and to serve you. But even if it is God who has given them this charge, we must nonetheless be grateful to them for the great love with which they obey and come to help us in our great need.

"So let us be devoted and grateful to such great protectors; let us return their love and honor them as much as we can and should.

"Yet all our love and honor must go to Him, for it is from Him that they receive all that makes them worthy of our love and respect.

"We should then, my brothers, show our affection for the angels, for one day they will be our co-heirs just as here below they are our guardians and trustees appointed and set over us by the Father. We are God's children although it does not seem so, because we are still but small children under guardians and trustees, and for the present little better than slaves.

"Even though we are children and have a long, a very long and dangerous way to go, with such protectors what have we to fear? They who keep us in all our ways cannot be overpowered or led astray, much less lead us astray. They are loyal, prudent, powerful. Why then are we afraid? We have only to follow them, stay close to them, and we shall dwell under the protection of God's heaven."
