Without End. Amen

A PRAYER TO ONE’l O most faithful companion, appointed by God to be my guardian, my protector and defender, and who never leaves t my side ; how shall 1 thank thee for thy faithfulness and love, and for all the bene- fits which thou hast conferred upon me ? Thou watchest over me while I sleep; thou comfortest me when I am sad ; thou liftest me up when I am down ; thou avertest the dan- gers that threaten me; thou warnest me of those that are to come; thou withdrawest me from sin, and excitest me to good; thou exhortest me to penance when I fall, and ; ANGEL-GUARDIAN. reconcilest me to God. Long ago should I have been thrust down into hell, unless by thy prayers thou hadst turned away from me the anger of God. Leave me not, nor for- sake me ever, 1 beseech thee ; but still comfort me in ad- versity, restrain me in pro- sperity, defend me in danger, assist me in temptations, lest at any time I fall beneath them. Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty my prayers and groamngs, and all my works of piety, and make me to persevere in grace, until I come to everlasting life. Amen
