The Holy Angels If you want to watch this episode on YouTube, head to The Holy Angels: Who Are They? - YouTube. Today on the show we dive into The Holy Angels and what the Catholic Church teaches about these creatures. Who are they? What do they do? How do they interact with us and our world? Mentioned in the show: Prayer to our Guardian Angel by St. Ephraim the Studite: O Guardian Angel, protector of my soul and body, to your care I have been entrusted by Christ. Obtain for me the forgiveness of the sins I have committed today. Protect me from the snares of my enemy, that I may never again offend God by sin. Pray for me, your sinful and unworthy servant that, through your help, I may become worthy of the grace and mercy of the most Holy Trinity and of the immaculate Mother of our Lord God, Jesus Christ. Amen. Angel of God: Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
