Catholic. When searching for Guardian Angel prayers most I find are little short rhymes; for children. I pause for a moment in annoyance, then draw the conclusion: this is so important we need 3 years olds to be able to do it.
Look for an Orthodox Prayer book (or search online for Orthodox Prayers Guardian Angel) . Here is a short one that can be said daily as part of morning prayer rule: "O Angel of God, my holy Guardian, keep my life in the fear of Christ God, strengthen my mind in the true way and wound my soul with heavenly love, so that guided by Thee, I may obtain the great mercy of Christ God. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen". Evening Prayer: "O angel of Christ, holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me of everything I have done to offend you every day, and protect me from all influence and temptation of the evil one. May I never offend God by my sin. Pray for me to the Lord, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Most Blessed Theotokos, and of all the Saints. Amen."
The very first iconography class I took was to write an icon of our guardian angel. It was the most in depth and spiritual thing I have ever done. I have since grown so much closer to my guardian angel than I ever imagined
I'm just inquirer baptized RC as a baby but lived a secular life...I sure I hope I have a guardian, Angel ...my perish is St. Michael's ❤ your videos are always a help. God bless you all ☦️🙏
My local Catholic church is called “Guardian Angels”. There are two angel reliefs either side of the crucifix, above the tabernacle and high altar, like protectors.
Beautiful. Since Lent (by the Anglican tradition), I have been going through the BCP morning and evening daily including the 1922 lectionary. I have felt myself growing closer to God. Something weird happened last Sunday. I held two (bell) tower open days locally at two different churches, encouraging people to learn to ring. Having found out about this Saint a day or two previous, I prayed through St. Aristobulus of Britain, (1st Bishop of Britain, possibly one of the 70 mentioned in Romans) for the success of day and that I might see fruits of the work. At the following practice, I had 14 attending a small 5 bell tower including four new learners, and ringers of old returning to ringing.
Very Great content and set design and the right touch of humor here- well done! Practicing Cathoilc here, please do a piece on the Holy Ghost/Spirit. How the Spirit has shown himself throughout history and today 👏👏👏
Recently, I sent a message... in such I referenced "angels above". When I slept that night, in my dreams, I saw the priest of my local parish. Personally, I believe it was _his_ guardian angel visiting me. 🤔
In Eastern Orthodoxy, we take the moments where people like Origen, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, and others, agree with the tradition of the Church, but leave the rest. In this case, we've quoted Origen and Clement at points where they're correct and in line with Orthodox tradition regarding angels.
@@Mars20231 In Mathew 18:10 was Christ speaking about "when" guardian angels were assigned or was he speaking about how we are not to "disdain one of these little ones"? There are rubrics for understanding scripture which include audience and context. I would not get too caught up in this "gotcha" type detail.
I have a question: do angels have feelings? The catholic Thomas Aquinas taught that they don't, but I am wondering whether orthodox christians think that angels have emotions or not. I mean, if angels don't have feelings, then we should come to the paradoxical conclusions that angels do not actually delight in seeing God and that Satan does not actually enjoy doing evil since he is incapable of feeling pleasure.
I would question that teaching because unless he was shown the secrets of angelic beings. Then I would not really affirm nor reject such a teaching, but pray for knowledge that God Wills for us to have in our lives. Like Heaven and hell, it is ultimately a mystery at the end of the day in terms of confidently able to say we understand everything about the faith. However, it's quite a cool thing to consider though 🗿👍
The western Catholic depictions of angels ARE traditional but they happen to be traditionally western. Just as the flat icon style is traditionally eastern, they're just different artistic sensibilities from opposite sides of Christendom emphasizing different things. The angels in Scripture are described as sublimely beautiful and otherwordly when they appear to men and the western depictions go heavier on the beauty.
This is true to some extent, yes. The images we referenced are more the ones that developed after the renaissance, so they're a little newer and not historically Catholic either. Traditional Western/Catholic imagery of angels in the first millennium is a lot closer to the Eastern/Orthodox imagery we still use today. The mosaics of Ravenna, Italy have some STUNNING examples of angels, as do several other 6th century Churches in the West, as do some wonderful illuminated manuscripts from before the end of the first millennium like the Book of Kells, all of which are Western.

Lovely, short introduction to point inquirers to, and a reminder for all of us! Thank you.
As always, thank you. Great video, good instruction.

just to add a little info, origen of Alexandria was Anathematized, so probably dont quote him

So do we receive our Guardian Angels at birth or at our baptism?
At Baptism, just as we receive the Holy Spirit at such time.
@@williamticknor1938 But Jesus says that even the children have guardian angels?

@@williamticknor1938 So if I'm not baptized, I don't yet have a guardian angel?
At birth
Not to be dark, but I have heard that we each also have a demon assigned to us?
