No Job Too Small for Angels Sometimes people ask, incredulously, how I can ask Angels for help with small things like finding lost keys or parking spots.
Nothing could be farther from reality! First, Angels are expressions of the Source and as such have no limitations: nothing is too taxing for them. Furthermore, they yearn to be in connection with us and ease our journey in support of our life mission.
Second, Angels want to serve as a safe haven for us. With no judgment, they seek to help us to relax and shine. Not really! So, when the Angels assist us in such seemingly small things, they are really lightening the load of stress and increasing the peace in our lives and on Earth.
For us, it is often easier to entrust the small stuff to the Angels as we begin our relationship building. Again, the judgment around what is big or little is ours alone; to the Angels, both are big, as both are experiences that allow us to bond with them and remember.

Also in Scripture, Kartje said, angels inspire Joseph multiple times in dreams, such as inspiring him to take Mary as his wife after he considers divorcing her quietly. Salzmann noted that patristic scholar Jean Cardinal Danielou wrote of three main duties of guardian angels.
The angel of peace, Salzmann said, works to provide both external and internal peace for a person. The angel of penitence is an idea the Church Fathers took from Scripture, Salzmann said, particularly from a blessing that Jacob gives his son Joseph in the book of Genesis. Origen went even so far as to say that guardian angels can punish people for wrongdoing, Salzmann added, as a father would punish his children.
The angel As for whether guardian angels can provide physical as well as spiritual protection, Porter said that Church tradition would say that they can do both. Augustine and St. One example is in Genesis 18, when angels appear to Abraham and appear to be eating with Abraham and talking to him, as any other human would do.

Articles abound on the internet with how-tos for naming guardian angels, as well as arguments for why it should not be done - most notably that the claim that it could open the door to unknowing interactions with a demon rather than an angel.
