Prayer to Our Guardian Angel

O holy Guardian Angel,

my dear friend and solicitous guide on the dangerous way of life,

to thee be heartfelt thanks

for the numberless benefits

which have been granted me

through thy love and goodness

and for the powerful help by which thou hast preserved me

from so many dangers and temptations.

I beg of thee,

let me further experience thy love and thy care.

Avert from me all danger,

increase in me horror for sin

and love for all that is good.

Be a counselor and consoler to me

in all the affairs of my life,

and when my life draws to a close,

conduct my soul through the valley of death

into the kingdom of eternal peace,

so that in eternity we may together praise God

and rejoice in His glory.

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

O Angel of God,

make me worthy of thy tender love,

thy celestial companionship

and thy never-failing protection!
