O only Mother of God, grant me, who am afflicted in body and soul, divine visitation and your own concern, for you are good and gave birth to the Good One.
Canon to the Guardian Angel
Lord Jesus Christ, my God, have mercy on me!
Grant, O Savior, that Thy servant may worthily hymn and praise the bodiless Angel who is my instructor and guardian.
Holy Angel of the Lord, my guardian, pray to God for me, a sinner!
I lie alone in folly and laziness, O my instructor and Guardian. Do not leave me to perish!
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Direct my mind, through your prayers, to accomplish the commandments of God, that I may receive from God the remission of my sins. Teach me to hate evil, I pray you.
Now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
With my Guardian Angel, O Virgin, pray to the Benefactor for your servant. Teach me to accomplish the commandments of your Son and my Creator.
