Hello! I will read the story to you.

Voices come from your device. If one sounds odd, choose another.

God made angels. Angels are spirits who love God and serve Him. We cannot see them, but they are real.

In the Bible, angels bring God's messages. The angel Gabriel brought good news to Mary, and angels sang to the shepherds when Jesus was born.

Jesus said that the angels of children always see the face of God in heaven. The Church teaches that God gives each of us an angel to protect us and guide us all through our life.

Your guardian angel is always with you: at home, at school and when you sleep. Your angel prays for you and helps you choose what is good.

You can talk to your guardian angel anytime, and you can thank God for giving you such a faithful friend.
