September 24 begins the novena to the guardian angels
When I went to Fatima many years ago, we were also blessed to visit the shrine to the Angels where they gave us this beautiful prayer to say....I still prayer it everyday.
Last year when I met a priest who has like Padre Pio, has the ability to see angels from his youth, he prayed over me and said "You have a very bright light over you, I rarely see one so bright. You must pray to him all the time."
I do. Here is the prayer...
Promise to The Guardian Angel
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts,
Heaven and Earth are full of Thy Glory.
Kneeling
before Thy majesty,
we thank Thee, O God,
that Thou hast given to each of us
a heavenly companion to be at our side,
one who leads us according to Thy will,
directs us in Thy paths and manifests to us Thy love.
We resolve
here in Thy presence
to love our holy companion as a brother
and to obey him when he speaks to us
through the voice of conscience.
He will surely lead us
to heaven.
Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
take my hand and place it in the hand of my Guardian Angel
and make the sign of our Redemption over it.
Thy blessing, for our salvation.
In the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
