Prayers to the Guardian Angels

 

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom God's love commits thee here.

Ever this day, be at my side,

to light, to guard, to rule, to guide.

Amen.

Dear Angel, 

Ever at my side, how lovely you must be,
to leave your home in heaven to guard a child like me.
When I'm far away from home or may be hard at play,
I know you will protect me from harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face, I see not, though you are near;
the sweetness of your lovely voice, I cannot really hear.
When I pray, your praying too, your prayer is just for me.
But when I sleep, you never do, you're watching over me.
Amen.

Guardian Angel, 

guard me from harm.

Protect me in sleep without cause for alarm.

Keep safe through the darkness of light,

and wake me gently with God's morning light.

Amen.

Dear Guardian Angel,
enlighten me in my doubts,
assist me in my difficulties,
defend me against the assaults of the devil,
and be my guide on the way of perfection,
making me more and more acceptable in the eyes of God.
Amen.

Guardian Angel, 

guard me from harm. Protect me in sleep without cause for alarm. 

Keep safe through the darkness of light, 

and wake me gently with God's morning light.

Prayer of the Day

Act of Faith, Hope and Love



My God, I believe in you,
I trust in you,
I love you above all things,
with all my heart and mind and strength.
I love you because you are supremely
good and worth loving;
and because I love you,
I am sorry with all my heart for offending you.
Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Amen.

 

A Mother's Prayer to the Guardian Angels of her children

I humbly salute you, O you faithful, heavenly Friends of my children! I give you heartfelt thanks for all the love and goodness you show them. At some future day I shall, with thanks more worthy than I can now give, repay your care for them, and before the whole heavenly court acknowledge their indebtedness to your guidance and protection. Continue to watch over them. Provide for all their needs of body and soul. Pray, likewise, for me, for my husband, and my whole family, that we may all one day rejoice in your blessed company. Amen.

Saint Padre Pio

 

Today, September 23, 2021, we celebrate the feast of the beautiful soul, Saint Padre Pio. He was gifted with all the wounds of the stigmata, was a mystic, was reported to have been able to bilocate and was a wonderful healer. Spending hours upon hours in the confession, he was able to tell people who came to him, what their sins were, to help them release them, before they even said anything to him. Padre Pio is a saint that is just so needed in our world today to turn to, because of his beautiful example of charity, love for those he felt were his "spiritual children" and of course, last but absolutely never least, his love of Jesus and Mary.

He is a powerful intercessor, who is healing, protective and very close to God. He is quoted as saying:

“I love my Spiritual Children as much as my own soul, and even more.”

“To my Spiritual Children, my prayers for you will never be lacking.”

If one of my spiritual children ever goes astray, I shall leave my flock and seek him out.”

“I shall stand at the gates of Paradise until all my spiritual children have entered.”

“Once I take a soul on, I also take on their entire family as my spiritual children.”

\

Prayer  

O Saint Padre Pio, holy bearer of the Wounds of Christ, accept us this day as your spiritual sons and daughters and keep us always on the narrow path by your intercession. And do thou, O our Spiritual Father, stay there at the Gates of Heaven until all of your spiritual children have entered through, even and including us. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Dear Padre Pio, I recall your promise to the Lord, “Lord, I will stand at the gates of heaven until I see all my spiritual children have entered.” Encouraged by your gracious promise, I ask you to accept me as a spiritual child and to intercede for my prayer requests (Here state your petitions) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever.

Padre Pio, Pray for us!
