This is the issue of naming angels. A couple of months ago we had a touching account from a woman who met what she believes was her guardian during a pilgrimage and named the angel "Cherish." It really seemed more a nickname. We could not presume to be the one who names an angel -- it is God Who would do that. But it seems the idea of lending any name to an angel raises concerns with some.

My comment: I have a strong devotion to the Angels, all Nine Choirs and especially my Guardian Angel. I have never had the idea to name my guardian angel and I personally don't think anyone should. I also read somewhere that certain people have more than one Guardian Angel, especially the blind. Another thought is that I pray the St. Michael Chaplet every day and one of the promises attached to this great prayer is that when we receive Holy Communion, Nine Angels, one from each Choir, escort you to the altar. Now are we going to name all nine? Not me! I'm so happy to have this devotion and can tell you that the Angels have interceded into my life many times and have assisted me in many ways. I truly thank God for creating them and giving each one of us a Guardian Angel to guide us to heaven.
