Core Prayer
Guardian Angel Prayer
The Guardian Angel Prayer with a Catholic reflection on protection, obedience to grace, and childlike trust in God's care.
The Guardian Angel Prayer is often taught to children, but it remains a serious Catholic prayer for every age. It asks for light, guarding, ruling, and guidance through the ministry of the angels.
Prayer
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.
Reflection
Its simplicity is part of its strength. This prayer reminds Catholics that God's protection is personal, and that guidance often begins with a humble willingness to be led.
