Prayer to One's Guardian Angel
Taught to Catholic children for generations as a simple bedtime and morning prayer, this verse reflects the Church's long-held belief that God assigns each soul a guardian angel from birth. Its short, rhyming form has kept it in daily use across centuries.
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.
