GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER

O Holy Angel,

attendant of my wretched soul and of mine afflicted life,
forsake me not, a sinner,
neither depart from me for mine inconstancy.
Give no place to the evil demon to subdue me
with the oppression of this mortal body;
but take me by my wretched and outstretched hand,
and lead me in the way of salvation.

Yea, O holy Angel of God, the guardian and protector
of my hapless soul and body, forgive me all things whatsoever
wherewith I have troubled thee, all the days of my life,
and if I have sinned in anything this day.

Shelter me in this present night,
and keep me from every affront of the enemy,
lest I anger God by any sin;
and intercede with the Lord in my behalf,
that He might strengthen me in the fear of Him,
and make me a worthy servant of His goodness.
