I have been baptized as a Roman Catholic and I was brought up a church-goer. As a child, I remember that we would rarely miss Sunday mass. As a grade-schooler, I remember being excited every first Friday of the month because it would mean that we would hear mass after class.

I know that my religion has been under scrutiny for quite some time now. Honestly, there are also some things that I find questionable in the way the religion is being carried out. Even so, I love being Catholic and I believe that part of that love comes from my fascination over some beliefs that we have. First and foremost is our belief in beings called angels.

Although it is not unique to the Catholic faith, I believe that the most elaborate description and classification of angels belongs to this religion. There is, if my memory serves me right, a hierarchy that exists among them. There are angels who serve as our Lord’s messengers, angels who exist only to praise and worship him and there are even those who serve to carry out His plans for the world.

And then, of course, there are angels who are assigned to each and every one of us, if what they teach us as children are true. They are called our guardian angels.
