Good questions for Matthew's AI.
I would like to bond with mine now. How best can I do that?
Did any saint tell us how best to contact our guardian angel??
According to Catholic faith we all have a personal guardian angel.When we were growing up my mother used to encourage us to pray a novena to our guardian angel to help us chose a good name by which to call him and so endear him more to our hearts. My choice ended up being Zaviel. A friend of mine made a drawing for me of him basing his face off of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. I had it framed and is has been in my bedroom for years.
Sadly you never hear much about them. When did you last think about yours?
Can you imagine the sadness of an atheist's angel, or that of a sinner who never repents?
Surely our guardian angel is given to us for a certain reason.
How does this happen?

Give your angel a name. I crossed a street too soon when I was on a bicycle and when I got to the other side, I knew I did too soon and saw a very large wing, I took it to be my guardian angels wing. That one wing was the height of a telephone pole. I will never forget that.
Fr. Leblanc RIP of Our lady of the Sun in El Mirage, loved his angel and bought many angel statues for the church. He put in 2 very large ones at the altar, 6 angels Holy founts. He had the children of the church to give them a name and plaques were made with their names attached to the statues. There is Grace, Angelo, Faith, Frances etc.
Wow, thank you B from A for all that love of our guarding angels,I like to add the second part: From stain of sin keep me free, and at my death my helper be.
especially for that prayer we were all taught since kids.
How did I forget it. I will say it now every night and day.
Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God's love commits me here, Ever this night, be at my side, To light and guard, Rule and guide. Amen.

I just read in a book about Padre Pio and the Guardian Angels that at baptism everyone receives a Guardian Angel. I always thought it was at conception. Has the church taught when we get our Guardian Angel? Thanks in advance for helping me understand. If it is at baptism, then there are many people these days without Guardian Angels.No, everyone gets a guardian angel at their conception, some theologians say at birth, but either way it's not at baptism. There are all the souls in the OT that were never baptized, including St. Joseph. Then there's Our Blessed Mother, who had 1000 Guardian Angels.
I remember that there was a saint (but I can't remember which one) that would always open the door for his guardian angel to enter or leave before him.Yes I have also heard this. I remember reading that for most of us, our Guardian Angel goes before us; but for priests, the Angel defers to the priest to go first.

Russia: Guardian Angels taking a Holy Soul to Heaven (https://youtube.com/watch?v=sGlDbt3Iauo)
Gee, this video is old, but I recall posting it on CI when I found it.
Now, it appears to be two Guardian Angels escorting the soul of a known Holy woman to Heaven.
Hmmm... Two Angels?
While I don't believe Fr. Malachi Martin's stories, because there is ample proof he was part of the Revolution, I still admit he had good knowledge of the Catholic Faith.
He was brilliant and he used his intellectual talents to know the Faith so he could be a confidence man. His talks on Catholic tradition were so good, it helped to lead me back to the Faith in the 1990's.
Fr. Martin once said, every person has two Guardian Angels. One assigned to the soul's spiritual & temporal care and the other for the soul's destiny.
Is this true? I haven't found any theological basis for it, but I my search was poor.
The video also shows two dark objects fleeing the scene at the Angels arrival. These were thought to be demons, "getting out of Dodge" so to say.
Correct me if I'm am wrong, does a priest have 2 guardian angels?Yes. I was told this by a traditional Dominican priest.
