GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER
- OLD:
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.
Amen.
