text: where in the bible, does it talk about guardian angels ?   i believe "imacatholic2" answered your question very well and they were right to reference the catechism of the catholic church because it covers all bases including biblical references in case you are one of those that say, "if it isn't in the bible it doesn't exist.". you have to understand that the bible doesn't always refer to some things by name, but by reference. just like there are many references to a place where souls go to be purified before entering heaven, even though the actual word "purgatory" is not mentioned. the bible was not written originally in english, so we should not quibble over semantics to get to truth. so it is with "guardian angels". that particular english phrase is not spelled out but the references are numerous, and "imacatholic2" spelled them out clearly and beautifully. i am a catholic, too. god bless you,
