Prayer to the Guardian Angels
Today is the Feast of the Guardian Angels, the day in which we remember God's graciousness in giving each of us a divine protector to be at our side for the entirety of our lives. Indeed, the work of the angels is so important in our lives that the Church has dedicated the entire month of October to the honor of all the angels, just as She has also dedicated this month to the honor of the Holy Rosary.
Throughout this month, and especially today, it's good for us to pray the Guardian Angel Prayer: "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."
