What Do Guardian Angels Look Like?

Invisible
Guardian angels usually do their protective work unseen by human eyes,believers say.
In his book Summa Theologica, Saint Thomas Aquinas writes
that the way God has set up the natural order means that
Guardian Angels are usually invisible to the people they protect.
The fact that guardian angels "sometimes appear to men visibly outside the ordinary course of nature
comes from a special grace of God, as likewise that miracles occur outside the order of nature,”
Aquinas writes.
People often don’t notice the times when guardian angels are likely protecting them from everyday hazards that they may not even realize they’re facing,
writes Rudolf Steiner in his book Guardian Angels: Connecting with Our Spirit Guides and Helpers:

"Innumerable things … take place in which our destiny prevents us from having an accident,
but we just do not notice them.
The reason why we do not study them is because it is not so easy to see the connections.
People follow them up only if they are so striking that they cannot help noticing them."

Just because you don’t normally see guardian angels around you doesn’t mean that they’re not there,
writes Denny Sargent in his book Your Guardian Angel and You:
"You have only very limited senses with which to perceive the world,
so you can’t normally see angels who may be around you.
These beings are as real as you, but they are formed of a different kind of energy,
an energy that is usually beyond your perception.
You can only see a small part of the light spectrum.
You can’t, for example, see ultraviolet light, but you know it exists."

Sometimes, guardian angels actually appear to the people they’re protecting.They may show up either in their heavenly form as beings that are glorious to see,
or in human form, looking just like people.
Heavenly Form
The sight of angels appearing in their heavenly form is an awesome experience.
Angels who show up in heavenly form radiate
powerful, loving energy and emanate light,
writes Denny Sargent in Your Guardian Angel and You:

"When angels appear, they are always accompanied by amazing waves of
pure love and power.

They almost always appear as beings of light.
Sometimes they come as balls of light
sometimes as glowing bands of light…

although many different colors are also mentioned in various historical accounts."

When angels appear in heavenly form, they may also have magnificent wings
that symbolize God's power and loving care for people.
They may also
have other exotic features that distinguish them from human beings.
Human Form
Guardian angels may look so much like human beings
when they’re
on missions to protect people
that the people they’re helping may not
even know they’re in the presence of angels.

The Bible
says in Hebrews 13:2:
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,
for by so doing
some people have shown hospitality to angels without
knowing it."
However, even when Guardian Angels look like humans when they
appear to help people in danger,
people often suspect that the
mysterious strangers coming to their aid may not actually be human.
"Angels can take on human form to help us during crises …
they often
appear in stressful, fearful situations.
They stay, offering gentle
comfort until, their job complete,
they disappear without a trace.
Only
then do we know that we’ve been touched by the Divine,"
writes Doreen
Virtue in My Guardian Angel: True Stories of Angelic Encounters from Woman’s World Magazine Readers.

Believers say that Guardian Angels are nearby and ready to help
you all times --
whether they show up in visible form or work invisibly
behind the scenes of your life.
