Guardian Angel Prayer
Guardian Angel from heaven so bright, Watching beside me to lead me aright, Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love, Softly sing songs to me of heaven above. Amen.

Novena Prayer to One's Guardian Angel

 

O HOLY ANGEL, whom God, by the effect of His goodness and His tender regard for my welfare, has charged with the care of my conduct, and who assists me in all my wants and comforts me in all my afflictions, who supports me when I am discouraged and continually obtains for me new favors, I return thee profound thanks, and I earnestly beseech thee, O most amiable protector, to continue thy charitable care and defense of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies.

 

Keep me away from all occasions of sin.

 

Obtain for me the grace of listening attentively to thy holy inspirations and of faithfully putting them into practice. In particular, I implore thee to obtain for me the favor which I ask for by this novena.

 

[Here mention your petition.]

 

Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death, and do not leave me until thou hast conducted me into the presence of my Creator in the mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen.

 

[A novena is made by saying a prayer for nine days in succession.]

What form does this medicinal punishment they inflict on us take?

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.

This is how I remember a prayer learned in childhood.

[DieHard the Hunter]

I have a dumb question: how do you know who your Guardian Angel is? And how do you know who your Patron Saint is?

I don’t know, but I’d like to find out.

Any guidance appreciated.

St. Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

In 1981, I was doing drug surveillance for the local govt. I was living next to a dealer and kept his movements communicated to the cops. One night his 300 pound bodyguard accosted me toward twilight. He grabbed me by the throat and said to me: "We know who you are!" I knew he carried. Evidently my cover had been blown. I said a quick prayer:"ὁ τό ἄγγελου [ho to angelou, O my angel!]{coz I knew some NT Greek prayers taught to me at Catholic University-} He still had me by the throat when I put my hands on his big chest and pushed. To my amazement he started floating away me. I said," Thank you guardian angel! I ran as fast as I could away from him. Of course later I was shaking but at the time I was really calm and I knew God would help me in danger. True story..
