NOVENA TO OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL

Prayer

O most faithful companion,

appointed by God to be my guardian,

and who never leaves my side,

how shall I thank you for your faithfulness and love

and for the benefits which you have obtained for me!

You watch over me when I sleep;

you comfort me when I am sad;

you avert the dangers that threaten me

and warn me of those to come;

you withdraw me from sin

and inspire me to good;

you exhort me to penance when I fall

and reconcile me to God.

I beg you not to leave me.

Comfort me in adversity,

restrain me in prosperity,

defend me in danger,

and assist me in temptations,

lest at any time I fall beneath them.

Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty

my prayers and petitions,

and all my works of piety,

and help me to persevere in grace

until I come to everlasting life.

Amen.
