St. Ambrose: On Guardian Angels

(October 2nd: Memorial of the Guardian Angels.)

“THE servants of Christ are protected by invisible, rather than visible, beings. But if these guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayers.” —St. Ambrose: Sermo contra Auxent, 11.

“THE angels must be entreated for us, who have been given us to guard.” 
—St. Ambrose: Concerning Widows, 55.
