Prayer IX, to the Holy Guardian Angel
☩ Morning Prayers (version 2) ☩
O holy angel that standeth by my wretched soul and my passionate life, forsake not me a sinner, nor shrink from me because of mine intemperance.
Give no place for the cunning demon to master me through the violence of my mortal body, strengthen my poor and feeble hand, and guide me in the way of salvation.
Yea, O holy angel of God, guardian and protector of my wretched soul and body, forgive me all wherein I have offended thee all the days of my life;
and if I have sinned during the past night, protect me during the present day, and guard me from every temptation of the enemy, that I may not anger God by any sin.
And pray to the Lord for me, that He may establish me in His fear, and show me, His servant, to be worthy of His goodness.
Amen.
