Novena to the Guardian Angels ( September 23 - October 1 )

~With love & gratitude to our Guardian Angels~
O Holy Guardian Angel, whom God, by the effect of His goodness and His tender regard for my spiritual welfare, has charged thee with the care of my conduct, and who assists me in all my wants and comforts me in all my afflictions, who supports me when I am discouraged and continually obtains for me new favors, I return thee profound thanks, and I earnestly beseech thee, O most amiable Protector, to continue thy charitable care and defense of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies. Keep me away from all occasions of sin. Obtain for me the grace of listening attentively to thy holy inspirations and of faithfully putting them into practice. In particular, I implore thee to obtain for me this prayer petition which I earnestly ask for by this novena.
[here our prayer intention ]
Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death, and do not leave me until thou hast conducted me into the Divine Presence of my Creator in the Mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen.

O most faithful companion, appointed by God Almighty to be my Guardian, and who never leaves my side, how shall I thank thee for thy faithfulness and love and for the benefits which thou have obtained for me!
Thou watch over me when I sleep; thou comfort me when I am sad; thou avert the dangers that threaten me and warn me of those to come; thou withdraw me from sin and inspire me to good; thou exhort me to penance when I fall and reconcile me to God.  I beg thee not to leave me.   Comfort me in adversity, restrain me in prosperity, defend me in danger, and assist me in temptations, lest at any time I fall beneath them. Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty my prayers and petitions, and all my works of piety, and help me to persevere in grace until I come to everlasting life. Amen.
