Holy Angel of Christ, falling to you I pray, my holy guardian, given to me for the preservation of my soul and body, a sinner from holy baptism, because of my laziness and my evil It is our custom to anger your most pure lordship and drive you away from us with all the evil deeds: lies, slander, envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, brotherly hatred, and resentment, love of money, adultery, rage, stinginess, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, excessive talking, evil thoughts and crafty ones, proud custom and lustful rage, having self-desire for all carnal lust.
Oh, my evil will, even the beasts do not do it without words! How can you look at me, or approach me like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, Angel of Christ, look upon me, entangled in evil in vile affairs? How can I ask for forgiveness for my bitter and evil and crafty deeds, where I fall into misery all day and night and at every hour?
But I pray to you, falling down, my guardian saint, have mercy on me, a sinner and unworthy servant of yours (name), be my helper and intercessor against the evil of my opponent, by your saints prayers, and make me a partaker of the Kingdom of God with all the saints, forever, amen.
