Deliverance & Spiritual Protection
Angelic Prayer for Purity
Guardian angel devotion reaches back to the earliest centuries of the Church, drawing on Christ's words that the little ones have angels who always behold the face of the Father.
O holy Angel, guardian of my soul and body,
watch over me this day and every day.
Guard my eyes from every impure sight,
my ears from every corrupt word,
my heart from every unclean desire.
Cast the evil one far from me
and cover me with the light of your presence,
that I may walk in innocence before the Lord
and one day rejoice with you
in the vision of His face. Amen.
Traditional guardian angel devotion
About the prayer
Prayers asking the guardian angel to guard the senses — eyes, ears, and heart — became common in Catholic manuals and in the discipline of "custody of the eyes" taught by spiritual writers. This prayer is used in the morning, before entering situations of temptation, and by those working to break habits of impurity.
