Novena to our Guardian Angel
In preparation for Feast of
The Holy Guardian Angels
September 23 – October 1
O Holy Angel, whom God, by the effect
of His goodness and His tender regard for my spiritual 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 petition which I humbly ask for
by this novena.
(Mention intentions
here)
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 Divine Presence of my Creator in
the Mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen.
O most faithful companion, appointed
by God to be my Guardian, and who never leaves my side, how shall I thank you
for your faithfulness and love and for the benefits which you have obtained for
me!
You watch over me when I sleep; you
comfort me when I am sad; you avert the dangers that threaten me and warn me of
those to come; you withdraw me from sin and inspire me to good; you exhort me
to penance when I fall and reconcile me to God. I beg you not to leave me.
Comfort me in adversity, restrain me
in prosperity, defend me in danger, and assist me in temptations, lest at any
time I fall beneath them. Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty my
prayers and petitions, and all my works of piety, and help me to persevere in
grace until I come to everlasting life. Amen.
