Holy Angel, stand before my wretched soul and more passionate than my life! Do not forsake me, a sinner, forsake me for my intemperance: do not give room to the evil demon to possess me with the violence of this mortal body: strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation. To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body! forgive me everything that I have offended you with in so many ways all the days of my life: and if I have sinned in this night that has passed, cover me on this day: [or: and if I have sinned in this day, cover me in this night:] and keep me from every temptation of the opposite, so that I may not sin in any way I anger God: and pray for me to the Lord, that He may strengthen me in His passion and show me worthy as a servant of His goodness. Amen.
