Saint Gertrude's Guardian Angel Prayer

O most holy Angel of God,
appointed by God to my Guardian,
I give thee thanks for all the benefits
which thou hast ever bestowed on me in body and soul.

I praise and glorify thee that thou condescended
to assist me with such patient fidelity,
and to defend me against all the assaults of my enemy.

Blessed be the hour
in which thou were assigned me for my Guardian,
my defender and my patron.

In acknowledgment and return for all thy loving ministries to me,
I offer thee the infinitely precious and noble Heart of Jesus,
and firmly purpose to obey thee henceforward,
and most faithfully to serve my God.

Amen.
