Understanding the Presence of Angels
Over the past few decades, angels have become popularized as kind and helpful beings devoted to guiding and protecting each person on earth. And in fact, angels are supernal beings created by Divine Essence long before humankind. The word angel is derived from the Greek angelos, which means messenger, and the chief function of angels is to shuttle messages of prayer between the human and the Divine.
According to the sixth century theologian, Dionysus the Areopagite, there are nine orders of angels including seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions, virtues, powers principalities, archangels and angels, each of whom are assigned either to assist the Divine in cosmic order, and/or to act as messengers of the Divine to the earth, as guardians of the human soul. In fact, the angel is the member of the heavenly host closest to humanity in its labors and concerns, and it is from this group Guardian Angels are chosen.
