Catholics/Guardian Angels

Expert: - 7/4/2010


Question
Father, what happens when we send our Guardian Angels places such as Holy Mass...? Do they literally leave our side to do so or do they, in a way, bi-locate the way human Saints have done?

Answer
Angels have local movement, which is continuous or non-continuous, but not instantaneous.  If you are interested in this subject, consult St. Thomas Aquinas' Treatise on the Angels in Part I of his Summa Theologica.  Your question is specifically addressed in Question 53 of that Part.
