JESUS, JOY OF ANGELS,

HAVE MERCY ON US.

I read something every year on this day of Guardian Angels and like it so, I thought to share it today. "One of the benefits of this feast is that it reminds us that God cares for each us, individually. We all know this in theory, but it is easy-in times of depression or temptation-to convince ourselves that we are too small to matter, for good or ill. Let us use this feast to remind ourselves that each of us has angel of our very own looking after us; and also pray to God for our own Guardian Angel. What a bore and burden to them some of us are. May we one day be a cause of rejoicing for them also" (Universalis, October 2, 2021). Amen. 

Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

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.

THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS,

MARY, QUEEN OF ANGELS,

SAINT JOSEPH,

PRAY FOR US.
