Canon to the Guardian Angel
Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, pray to God for me, a sinner!
Have pity on me, Angel of the Lord, and pray to God for me, for He has given you to me forever as a helper, instructor, and guardian throughout my life.
Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, pray to God for me, a sinner!
God entrusted my wretched soul to you undefiled, Holy Angel. Do not let it be killed by thieves on its journey, but direct it rather to the path of repentance.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
I bring my soul, completely shamed by my evil thoughts and deeds. Hasten to me, my Instructor, and grant me the healing of good thoughts which lead me forever on the right path.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
For the sake of the Theotokos, O Personal Wisdom of the Most High, fill with wisdom and divine strength those who cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
