I believe "imacatholic2" answered your question very well and they were right to reference the Catechism of the Catholic Church because it covers all bases including biblical references in case you are one of those that say, "If it isn't in the Bible it doesn't exist.". You have to understand that the Bible doesn't always refer to some things by name, but by reference. Just like there are many references to a place where souls go to be purified before entering Heaven, even though the actual word "Purgatory" is not mentioned. The Bible was not written originally in English, so we should not quibble over semantics to get to Truth. So it is with "Guardian Angels". That particular English phrase is not spelled out but the references are numerous, and "Imacatholic2" spelled them out clearly and beautifully. I am a Catholic, too. God bless you,

Some Bible verses that reference "guardian" angels are:
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. (Matthew 18:10)
When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. (Luke 16:22)
The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God. (Psalms 34:7)
No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.
For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
With their hands, they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. (Psalms 91:10-12)
If then there be for him an angel, one out of a thousand, a mediator, To show him what is right for him and bring the man back to justice, He will take pity on him and say, "Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found him a ransom." (Job 33:23-24)
Then the angel of the Lord spoke out and said, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you be without mercy for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that have felt your anger these seventy years?" (Zechariah1:12)
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 336, states: From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
With love in Christ.
