Catholics/How to meet an Angel?

Question
Hello!
First of all I'm sorry or my English. It's not my native language, but I hope you'll understand me. My name is Adam and I believe in Angels. I don't know much about them, but I believe they really exist. Most of informations about Angels are just simple facts we know from Bible. There's nothing about Angels in our life.
I've go a question: can you tell me how to meet an Angel and how to know it's really him? Do they come to us as people? Is it possible I met my Angel and I didn't know it's him?
Is it true that Angels only come in uncommon and hard  situations in our life? To help us and just disapear? How can I ask my Angel to come to me? Or maybe he just come when I really need him?
If you can give me answers please do. Thank you, Adam

Answer
Dear Adam:

I cannot tell you how to meet an angel. If I could tell you that than I would meet one myself! Angels do come to us, at least sometimes, as persons. St. Paul let's us know this fact. "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2). Angels can appear to us whenever God deems it necessary. I believe that that would be when we really need the visitation of the angel. I don't think that God just sends an angel to us just to say, "Hi."

God Bless You,
Sal

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.
