Guardian Angel

In the Old Testament, there are examples of angels of the Lord that are sent to guard and protect humanity. Psalm 91: “For he commands his angels with regard to you, to guard you wherever you go. With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.”  In the New Testament  there is even more evidence for the existence of guardian angels, two examples: In Matthew 18:10, Jesus tells his disciples: “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” In Acts 12:15, Peter, just freed by an angel from prison, goes to Mary’s (the mother of Mark) house. While Mary is convinced she sees Peter, her houseguests tell her that she must be mistaken, and instead she might be seeing “his angel.”
