Guardian Angel Prayer

The traditional guardian angel prayer is something we teach young children, but it is a wonderful prayer for Christians of all ages. Praying it connects us with our guardian angel who is always with us, watching over us. October 2 is the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.

I Am Ever Under the Gaze of an Angel

I am ever under the gaze of an angel who protects and prays for me. - Pope Saint John XXIII (Social media graphic)
