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

When to pray

Upon waking, before sleep, before a journey, or whenever you need protection and guidance.

A simple, ancient way to hand God the day ahead — thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings.

Before sleep, a moment to thank God for the day, ask forgiveness, and entrust rest to him.

Traditional prayer said at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., recalling the Incarnation of the Word in Mary's womb.
