Description:

This is a timeless prayer to one's Guardian Angel, that children can learn, but can continue to pray all our life. A partial indulgence is attached to those who recite this prayer.

Prayer:

Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day (or night), be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide. Amen.

Angele Dei,
qui custos es mei,
Me tibi commissum pietate superna;
(Hodie, Hac nocte) illumina, custodi, rege, et guberna.
Amen.
