For other meanings see Angel of the Lord

Angel of God is a Roman Catholic traditional prayer for the intercession of the guardian angel, often taught by mothers to their young children as the first prayer learned. It serves as a reminder of God's love, and by enjoining the guardian angel to support the child in a loving way, the prayer echoes God's abiding love.

Text

Angel of God,

my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day,
be at my side
to light, to guard
to rule and guide.

Amen.

Latin original version

Ángele Dei,

qui custos es mei,
me, tibi commissum pietáte supérna,
hodie illúmina, custódi,
rege et gubérna.

Amen.
