Prayer

Prayer to my Guardian Angel 

Faithful guardian of my soul, 

When at last I lay aside these mortal garments, and my spirit rushes toward the infinite mystery of my Creator, remain beside me. 

As you have walked with me through every joy and sorrow of this earthly life, accompany me on this final pilgrimage. Present my soul to the Lord whose face I have longed to behold. 

Lead me through that undiscovered country where fear gives way to perfect love, where faith becomes sight, and where every longing finds its fulfillment in the embrace of God. 

Quiet the lingering doubts born of my mortal weakness. Do not let me cling to the measure of what I have earned, but open my heart to the immeasurable gift of divine mercy. 

Remind me that I come not as one who has achieved perfection, but as the created, forever drawn to the Creator; a soul made for communion, yearning to become one with the Love from which it first came. Let us complete the journey from the finite to the eternal, from the physical to the ethereal, from time into everlasting life. 

Let us sway to the harmony that gives voice to the galaxies. Let us bask forever in the radiance of an unending sunrise, where every shadow is consumed by light, and every breath becomes praise.
