This makes sense as the “Sun” and “Moon” were not created until the fourth day! As a result, angels are a separate part of God’s creation and we do not become an entirely new being when we die. This is brought forth by Saint Augustine in City of God:įor when God said, “ Let there be light, and there was light,” if we are justified in understanding in this light the creation of the angels, then certainly they were created partakers of the eternal light which is the unchangeable Wisdom of God, by which all things were made, and whom we call the only-begotten Son of God so that they, being illumined by the Light that created them, might themselves become light and be called “Day,” in participation of that unchangeable Light and Day which is the Word of God, by whom both themselves and all else were made. This is further confirmed when God “ divided the light from the darkness,” referring to the rebellion of the angels led by Lucifer (Gen. One theory that we are allowed to believe is that on the first day when God made “light,” the “light He made was the angels (Gen. We will NOT become a Guardian Angel when we dieĪll of the angels in the world were created at one instance at the very beginning of creation. They watch over us from the very beginning and it is up to us to allow them to fulfill their duties for the rest of our lives. This would mean that during pregnancy a woman would be surrounded by two guardian angels.
Even more so, Saint Anselm states that at the very moment of the union of soul and body God appoints an angel to watch over him/her. Saint Thomas Aquinas holds that, “ from the very moment of his birth man has an angel guardian appointed to him” ( Summa Theologica, I, 113, 5). Guardian Angels are with us from the very beginning of life
So who are these heavenly beings? Well, here are 5 simple facts to get you started: 1. What we don’t realize is that our guardians angels are there right beside us, ready to help us and are continually knocking at the door, waiting for us to respond to their invitation. For most of us guardian angels are “cute” stories we tell children so that they are not afraid of the dark.
However, very few of us realize this or would even dare to converse with them on a daily basis. Jesus told His disciples, “ See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 18:10, emphasis added).
