Prayer to one's Guardian Angel

This is a beautiful prayer to learn:
O my guardian, glorious angel who from among the heavenly hierarchy has been appointed by God as my guardian from the very moment of my birth from the womb: I beseech thee humbly and devotedly that thou thus illuminate, protect and defend me, entrusted to thee, driving far away the enemy who wishes me ill; not only restrain me from evil acts, but mayest thou also urge and induce me toward the good by thy virtue; and by the protection of thy actions mayest thou make me at last a dweller with thee and with those on high.
Through Christ our Lord, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, O God, world without end. Amen.
