Prayer to Guardian Angel

By Saint Macarius

O Holy Angel, attendant of my wretched soul and of mine afflicted life, forsake me not, a sinner, neither depart from me for mine inconstancy.

Give no place to the evil demon to subdue me with the oppression of this mortal body; but take me by my wretched and oustretched hand, and lead me in the way of salvation.

Yea, O Holy Angel of God, the guardian and protector of my hapless soul and body, forgive me all things whatsoever wherewith I have troubled thee, all the days of my life, and I have sinned in anything on this day.

Shelter me in this present night, and keep me from every affront of the enemy, lest I anger God by any sin; and intercede with the Lord in my behalf, that He might strengthen me in the fear of Him, and make me a worthy servant of His goodness. Amen.

Language of Love

Heavenly Father, we pray for the grace to have, to live and to express the language of love.  False compassion take away from us, root us in truth and not in the opinions of others.  We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
