Angel of God

“Angel of God” has been one of my favorite prayers. At first, I looked forward to this prayer because it signalled the end of class. However, as I grew older the reason for liking this prayer evolved. I always felt protected and assured that I am led in the right direction after praying to my guardian angel. Hence, I catch myself praying when travelling to new places with my loved ones and whenever I feel alone and afraid.  

"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."

Now that I am a teacher, I feel abundantly blessed when I hear my young pupils singing “Angel of God” with their sweet angelic voices. This is a prayer that can easily be taught to children. Judging from my experience, it is valuable because it can accompany them through-out life.
