Prayer to Your Guardian Angel
Angele Dei
"From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession" (CCC 336). Often the first prayer a child learns.
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.
