Holy Angel, appointed to watch over my poor soul and unhappy life, do not leave me, a sinner, and do not depart from me for my intemperance. Do not allow the evil demon to subjugate me through this mortal body. Take my unfortunate and drooping hand tightly and lead me to the path of salvation. Oh, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my poor soul and body! Forgive me for everything I have done to offend you all the days of my life, and if I sinned in any way last night, protect me this day. And keep me from every temptation of the enemy, so that I do not anger God with any sin; and pray to the Lord for me, so that He will strengthen me in His fear and make me a slave worthy of His mercy. Amen.
