Yes. Christ took an ordinary little child and said, “Despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father.” Matt. XVIII., 10. There is no reason why one child should have an angel appointed to guard it rather than any other, and no reason why an angel, once appointed, should desert its charge during life. In fact, the farther a child wanders from God as it grows up, the more the need of a guardian angel’s care and protection.
