The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches the world\u2019s 1.3 billion followers that, indeed, every person has a Guardian Angel assigned by God to watch over the individual for life. Other Christians disagree, as do followers of some non-Christian faiths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will leave the theological debate about the existence of Guardian Angels to others, but here\u2019s an amazing example of their potential influence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Bok is a Catholic priest. On October 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, he was on his way to celebrate mass on the Feast of Holy Guardian Angels. Out of nowhere, a car driving from the opposite side of the road suddenly was headed straight for Fr. Bok\u2019s car.
