Icon of Guardian Angel
The Guardian Angel does not serve man, but the Lord. He is an intermediary of His will and usually does not communicate directly with the person. The Bible describes only rare instances of angels appearing to their charges, most often in dreams. One exception is considered to be Peter’s release from prison, which is believed to have been accomplished by an angel.
The Bible says that the Angels were quite joyful when God created the Earth. From that point on, they began to support people, nations, and churches. Many theologians are convinced that Guardian Angels are responsible for all life on Earth.
Angels act as spiritual advisors of man, keep a record of his good and bad deeds. In popular wisdom, they are often compared to the conscience.
The main purpose of Guardian Angels is to guide the souls of their charges to salvation, that is, to the Kingdom of Heaven. However, they also often help in physical situations, rescuing people in difficult circumstances such as illness, automobile accidents, financial difficulties, false accusations, and the like. Angels are genuinely pleased when a person repents and begins to lead a godly life.
In what cases turn to the Guardian Angel? Reading prayers or akathist to the Guardian Angel, believers seek comfort from fears and anxieties, ask for forgiveness for their sinful deeds, help in work and personal life, protection from temptations and harmful desires.
It is appropriate to give an icon of the Guardian Angel on such occasions: on baptism, including the baptism of infants, on a name day or birthday, on significant dates for a person or his family, for example, on a wedding.
