God has assigned every human being a personal guardian angel to serve as a companion throughout his or her entire earthly lifetime, Pope Francis has said. The Pope, leader of Catholicism (the largest group within Christianity, the world's largest faith) has urged believers worldwide to get to know their guardian angels. Here are some quotes about guardian angels from the Pope that declare his message that: It’s wise to pay attention to your guardian angel, because that angel has a wealth of valuable advice to give you every day.


Whenever pride tempts you to ignore your guardian angel’s messages, you should remember that you can’t make the best decisions on your own. Your guardian angel has your best interests in mind as God’s chosen companion for you, so decide to listen to your angel with an open mind and a desire to learn – like children do.

• “No one walks alone and none of us can think that he is alone.”
• "If anyone believes that they can walk on their own, they would be greatly mistaken. They would fall into that terrible trap of pride – believing we are self-sufficient.”
• “This is not an imaginative doctrine on the angels: no, it is reality. It is what Jesus said, God said: 'I send an angel before you to guard you, to accompany you on your journey, so you will not go wrong’."
• “We all have an angel with us, who protects us, helps us hear things. How often have we heard: 'I should do this, I should not do this, that’s not right, be careful .'?  So often! It is the voice of our traveling companion.”
• “When we do not want to listen to his advice, to listen to his voice, it's like saying, ‘Go away!'. It is dangerous to chase away our traveling companion, because no man no woman can advise themselves. I can give advice to others, but not to myself. The Holy Spirit advises me, the angel advises me.”

• “Be sure that he will guide us to the end of our lives with advice, and so listen to his voice, don’t rebel against it – because rebellion, the desire to be independent, is something that we all have; this is arrogance, the same arrogance of our father Adam in paradise: the very same. Do not rebel: follow his advice.”
• “Jesus taught the apostles to be like children … Jesus teaches them the true attitude to have, that ‘of a child’: docility, the need for advice, the need for help, because the child is the very symbol of the need for help, of docility to keep going … Those who are closest to the attitude of a child, are closer to the contemplation of the Father. They listen to their guardian angel with an open and docile heart.”
• “How is my relationship with my guardian angel? Do I listen to him? Do I wish him good morning? Do I say: 'protect me during sleep'? Do I speak with him? Do I ask his advice? He is at my side.”
• “We can respond to this question today, each and every one of us: “How is my relationship with this angel who the Lord has sent to protect and accompany me along the way, and who always sees the face of the Father who is in the heavens?”
