The
Guardian Angel Prayer is, as far as I can remember, the first prayer
that I memorized.. rather than the The Lord’s Prayer. Maybe because it’s
shorter than the latter.
And so this is the
first prayer I taught my 3 year old boy. Though he can’t say the words
clearly, he knows the words that comes after the other.
First,
I though him how to make the sign of the cross. At first he always
interchange the holy and the spirit which suppose to be from left to
right.. while he does it right to left. (maybe because he is a lefty. I
don’t know hehehe!) After a few weeks he finally got it right.
They
next is the words in the prayer. Since he already knows how to make the
sign of the cross, I let him do it before I start reciting thewords of
the Guardian Angel Prayer. And I let him say the word AMEN (which he
does clearly, by the way) and end with another sign of the cross. For
about a month.. this is the ritual before going to bed. AJ makes the
sign of the cross, I recite the prayer and he ends it with AMEN and
close with another sign of the
cross.
cross.
Now, he’s the one telling me when he is all settled in bed: ‘ mommy, pray angel of god’.. and so he starts with:
In a name of the fader da sun and da oly pirit amen.
aaaangel of God my gardian dear to ummm Gods love mmmmts me
er, every day be at mi ayde to aight and gard to ule and guide Amen.
er, every day be at mi ayde to aight and gard to ule and guide Amen.
In a name of the fader da sun and da oly pirit amen.
Here are the right words to that if you didn’t understand a thing (hehe!):
Angel of god, my gardian dear to whom God's Love commits me
here, ever this day be at my side to light & guard to rule and guide Amen.
here, ever this day be at my side to light & guard to rule and guide Amen.
God Bless everyone.
