by Fr. Lauer seems to be good reading at this point in time.

FULL CUSTODY
"For to His angels He has given command about you, that they guard you in
all your ways." —Psalm 91:11
Our lives are so precious to God that He has created and assigned an angel
specifically for each one of us. "Beside each believer stands an angel as
protector and shepherd leading him to life" (Catechism, 336). The Lord
says: "My angel is with you, and he is the custodian of your lives" (Bar
6:6). For anyone who thinks they're in charge of their own life, it's
important to know that a guardian angel has been authorized by God to take
full custody of that life.
Your guardian angel is:
* focused constantly on Jesus (Mt 18:10; Jn 1:51). "Christ is the
center of the angelic world" (Catechism, 331). Your angel's life revolves
around Jesus (Jn 1:51).
* devoted to your personal welfare and care (Ps 91:11; Bar 6:6). God
specifically declares: "I am sending an angel before you" (Ex 23:20).
Your angel is constantly beholding the face of Christ. This gives your
angel a privileged position to instantly hear, receive, and carry out
orders specifically related to you. Your angel is attentive to you at all
times. Therefore, obey God's command to "be attentive to" your angel and
"heed his voice" (Ex 23:21, 22).
Prayer: Father, thank You for loving me so personally as to create and
assign an angel specifically for me. I will repent so as to cause You and
my angel to rejoice (Lk 15:10).
Promise: "Unless you change and become like little children, you will not
enter the kingdom of God." —Mt 18:3
Praise: "Angel of God, my guardian dear..."
