Things Your Guardian Angel Can and Can’t Do
Notes de l’épisode
Can your guardian angel read your mind? See your dreams? Know your future? Can you name your guardian angel, and what happens to your angel when you die?
Catholic teaching on guardian angels is a lot more specific than most people realize. In this video, we're going through 13 questions about guardian angels, from what St. Thomas Aquinas taught about their knowledge and abilities to what Scripture and Catholic tradition tell us about their role in our lives.
We’ll also talk about whether animals have guardian angels, whether twins share one, whether your angel can physically protect you, what St. Gemma Galgani and Padre Pio said about their guardian angels, and why the Church discourages Catholics from naming them.
Guardian angels aren't just a nice Catholic idea. Their entire mission is ordered toward helping us get to heaven, and understanding what they actually can and can't do makes that reality even more fascinating.
