Gaurdian Angels: “their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”

“Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. 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.”
-- Mt 18:1-5, 10

The Church venerates the angels who help her on her earthly pilgrimage and protect every human being.
