Saints LightPrayer to the Guardian Angel
A medieval Latin prayer, here in its familiar English rhyme. Pray it in the morning, and at night change 'this day' to 'this night'.
The prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
In Latin
Angele Dei, qui custos es mei, me tibi commissum pietate superna, illumina, custodi, rege et guberna. Amen.
Pray it this week
Pray it each morning this week as you leave the house, and once more before a hard conversation or a long drive.
More in Morning and Night
