You are never alone. From the moment of your birth, a guardian angel has been assigned to you — a heavenly companion whose sole mission is to light your way, guard you from harm, and guide you toward God. This is one of the most tender and comforting beliefs in the Catholic faith, and one that resonates with people far beyond the Church.

This Prayer to Your Guardian Angel laminated card puts that ancient prayer in your hands — the one so many of us learned as children, whispered before sleep, or taught to our own little ones. Designed by Shawn Kilgarlin, a wife, mother of four, and mental health clinician from Shreveport, Louisiana, every ShopCatholic card is made to carry the words of faith into everyday life. Laminated with gold accents, sized to tuck into a Bible, a wallet, a child’s backpack, or a pocket.

👼 The Prayer

Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here;
Ever this day (or night) be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

✨ About Guardian Angels

The belief in guardian angels is one of the oldest in the Catholic tradition, rooted in Scripture — from Psalm 91 (“He will command His angels concerning you”) to Matthew 18:10, where Jesus says the angels of children “always behold the face of my Father.” The Church celebrates the Feast of the Guardian Angels on October 2nd. This prayer has been taught to Catholic children for centuries as their first conversation with their heavenly protector.
