History:
In the Old Testament the name holy angels applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will.

The English word "angels" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. In the Bible, the word "angel" nearly always applies to heavenly beings.

These heavenly beings do supernatural things as messengers of God. Angels work for God and for the ultimate benefit of mankind.

God created angels without our shortcomings and so they can act for and represent God to us, bridging the gap between God in heaven and the shortcomings of people on earth.

"You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your

protector, and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.

God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on stones." Psalm 91: 10-12

The guardian angels guide us to good thoughts, works and words, and to preserve us from evil. Since the 17th century the Church has celebrated a feast honoring them in October.
