A Guardian Angel with two children and an armful of toys.
|
Angel of God, my Guardian Dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day, night, be at my side,
To light, to guard, to rule and guide.
This prayer to our Guardian Angel may be modern, but the concept of a spirit that watches over us pre-dated Christianity.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
— Psalm 91:11
Christ said, in receiving the children:
…For I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."
— Matthew 18:10
So, it is no surprise that, in the popular imagination, angels and children have always gone hand-in-hand.It is this imagerythat this stunning Guardian Angel piece brings to life: two little children, in their Chrismas best, are accompanied by their Guardian Angel.
Clearly, they're on a mission, with arms full of toys, a basket of flowers, a tiny Christmas tree, and three ringing bells!
