Novena to the Guardian Angels

Opening prayer:

Holy Guardian Angel, given to me by God's tender love to be my companion and guide, I greet you with gratitude. Watch over me through this novena, keep me close to God, and never let me stray from His side. Amen.

Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.

Day 6: My consoler — a friend in sorrow

In hours of sorrow or solitude, when no human voice can reach me, my Angel remains near in faithful silence. He is a true friend who never tires and never abandons the soul entrusted to him. When others forget or forsake me, his constancy mirrors the faithfulness of God Himself, who has promised never to leave us orphans (John 14:18) but to abide with us always, even to the end.

O faithful Guardian Angel, friend who never sleeps nor leaves my side, be near me in my hours of loneliness and grief. When no human comfort reaches me, let your quiet presence remind me that I am held in the everlasting love of God. My Guardian Angel, my consoler, comfort me! Amen.

Today's intention:

For comfort and companionship in times of loneliness and grief.

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis,

sanctificétur nomen tuum.

Advéniat regnum tuum.

Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,

et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.

Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,

sed líbera nos a malo.

Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Closing prayer — the Angel of God:

Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom God's love commits me here,

ever this day be at my side,

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.

Angele Dei, qui custos es mei,

me, tibi commissum pietate superna,

illumina, custodi, rege et guberna.

Amen.

My faithful Guardian Angel, carry the prayers of this novena before the throne of God and obtain for me the grace I now implore. Watch over me until that day when I may praise God with you forever in heaven. Amen.
