Another Prayer to the Guardian Angels

My good Angel, Thou comest from heaven; God has sent thee to take care of me. Oh, shelter me under thy wings. Lighten my path, direct my steps. Do not leave me, stay quite near me and defend me against the spirit of evil. But above all come to my help in the last struggle of my life. Deliver my soul so that with thee it may praise, love and contemplate the goodness of God forever and ever.
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

Prayer to Our Holy Guardian Angels

Heavenly Father, Your infinite love for us has chosen a blessed angel in heaven
and appointed him our guide during this earthly pilgrimage. Accept our thanks
for so great ablessing. Grant that we may experience the assistance of our holy protector
in all our necessities. And you, holy, loving angel and guide, watch over us with all the
tenderness of your angelic heart. Keep us always on the way that leads to heaven,
and cease not to pray for us until we have attained our final destiny, eternal salvation.
Then we shall love you for all eternity. We shall praise and glorify you unceasingly for
all the good you have done for us while here on earth. Especially be a faithful and
watchful protector of our children. Take our place, and supply what may be wanting
to us through human frailty, short-sightedness, or sinful neglect. Lighten,
O you perfect servants of God, our heavy task. Guide our children, that they may become
like unto Jesus, may imitate Him faithfully, and persevere till they attain eternal life.
Amen

The Shelter of Your Wings
(Based on Psalm 91 and Matthew 23:37)
(By Elton and Gilberto)
This song was inspired by the teaching of our band member Antonio Dusi on this topic. It was composed by Elton with some help from Gilberto on the chords. This music style originated in Brazil and is called Samba Canção. - Elton May 15, 1997.

(Flute introduction)

(Verse 1)
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of his wings.
He will not fear the terror of the night
as God's angels stand guard over him.

In the shelter of your wings I will go in times of need.
There is comfort in the shelter of your wings.
In the shelter of your wings. In the wonder of your love.
I will find peace in the shelter of your wings.

(Verse 2)
God will be my refuge, my fortress, in whom I trust.
He will cover me with the feathers of his wings.
A thousand may fall beside me,
but no harm will come my way.
He'll protect me as I acknowledge him.

In the shelter of your wings I will go in times of need.
There is comfort in the shelter of your wings.
In the shelter of your wings. In the wonder of your love.
I will find peace in the shelter of your wings.

(Verse 3)
As he looked over the city
there was sadness in his eyes,
as he thought of the path that lay ahead.
Oh Jerusalem, my city,
you should come into my arms,
and take refuge in the shelter of my wings.

In the shelter of your wings I will go in times of need.
There is comfort in the shelter of your wings.
In the shelter of your wings. In the wonder of your love.
I will find peace in the shelter of your wings.
I will find peace in the shelter of your wings.
I will find peace in the shelter of your wings.
