rules in the Principalities, as principle,
guards in the Powers, as salvation,
acts in the Virtues, as strength,
reveals in the Archangels, as light,
assists in the Angels, as piety.”

for one day, they will be our co-heirs,

by means of His Angels,
we ought frequently to offer Him,

and ask their help in all your affairs,
temporal, as well as spiritual.”

“Recommend yourself to your Angel Guardian
three times a day –
in the morning. by the prayer “Angele Dei”
in the evening, by the same prayer
and during the day,
when you visit the Altars in Churches.
Remember that you are to be guided
by your Angel, like a blind man
who cannot see the dangers of the streets
and trusts entirely.
to the person who leads him.”

to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day (or night) be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
Amen.”
“When there is not enough time
to say this prayer, let us at least
turn to our Angel with
an Act of Faith and Love and say:
“My Guardian Angel,
enlighten me.
My Guardian Angel,
help me.
My Guardian Angel,
protect me.”
He will certainly come to our assistance
and will implore, for us, from God,
the grace which we need.”

This will make your angel happy.
When sorrows and misfortunes,

and he will help you.”
