✝

Lord God, Heavenly Father,

You are my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.

I ask for Your divine protection:

• Shield me from all danger

• Guard me from every evil

• Protect me from harm

• Keep me safe in Your care

Send Your holy angels to:

• Watch over my coming and going

• Guard my body, mind, and soul

• Defend me in times of trouble

• Guide me in paths of righteousness

Through the intercession of:

• The Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother

• Saint Michael the Archangel

• My guardian angel

• All the angels and saints

Keep me and my loved ones

safe from all adversity,

protected from all harm,

and preserved in faith and grace.

Amen.
