Guardian Angel Protecting a Child by Virginia S. Benedicte (2023) - Public Domain Catholic Painting

According to Catholic teaching, each person is assigned a guardian angel at birth to guide and protect them throughout their life. The angel's presence is often felt as a comforting presence during times of fear or danger. They are believed to intercede on our behalf and provide divine assistance when needed. This concept provides a sense of comfort and reassurance that we are never truly alone and that we have a heavenly protector watching over us.
