The Icon Of Guardian Angel.
The Icon of Guardian Angel
“Guardian angel” is quite a widespread notion in modern society, yet, this heavenly being has a special meaning for Christians. Simply speaking, he is a creation of the Almighty, which is assigned to keep an eye on us. The icon of the Guardian Angel should be present in the house of every true believer – to protect and guide him.
Even with our developed senses, we cannot understand the true appearance of the angel. These creatures have never been born on earth, they have no gender, name, or age. There is not a single description of the guardian angel in the Bible. On the icons, he is generally depicted as a handsome young man with a halo and white wings. He holds a cross in his right hand (which stands for strong faith) and a sword in the left (which shows his power).
Typically, angels are portrayed on the icons together with saints. However, having an image of the Guardian Angel as the main figure will help you address your protector directly and have a more earnest conversation.
Who do Guardian Angels protect?
The New Testament says that each of us is supervised by a Guardian Angel from our first breath until the moment we leave this earth. The main purpose of these heavenly beings is to be people’s spiritual mentors and keep track of our good and bad deeds. Our Angel guides us on the pathway to salvation, although he can’t force us or decide for us.
No matter what we do, our heavenly defender never abandons us. He stays by our side in every battle that life throws at us and protects us when we are too weak to keep fighting alone. However, his work is subtle and almost invisible. A believer should always exercise his faith to feel the presence of his Angel. And what can be more powerful than sincere prayer?
Angels don’t have the same power as the saints or Our Lord but we can also say prayers to them during doubtful times. They help to improve both the spiritual and physical well-being of a person.
Through prayer, you can ask for:
- help in all your deeds;
- support on your way to the righteous life;
- courage to fight sinful thoughts;
- protection from temptations;
- guidance on the right path.
Thanks to iconography and skilled craftsmen, we have a chance to enjoy the marvelous paintings of Guardian Angels and become closer to the Kingdom of Heaven through a sincere conversation with our personal defender.
