Our Father...

Bless the Lord, all His Angels, you mighty ones who do His Will. He has sent His Angels before you, to guard you on all your ways. My God, in the presence of the Angels I will bless You. I want to adore You and praise Your holy Name. Lord, hear my prayer. And let my cry come unto You.

Let us pray.

Almighty, Eternal God, in Your ineffable goodness You have assigned a special Angel to all men, from the womb onwards, as a protection for body and soul. Graciously grant that I may follow my holy Angel so faithfully and love him so dearly, that through Your grace and under his protection I may one day reach the heavenly Father's House and may merit to behold Your Divine Countenance together with him and all the holy Angels.
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
