Молитва 9-я, к Ангелу-Хранителю
A Plea for Divine Protection
The petitioner asks the Guardian Angel to remain present and strengthen them against the influence of evil.
Holy Angel, who watches over my wretched soul and my passion-ridden life, don't abandon me, a sinner, or turn away from me because of my lack of self-control. Don't give the evil demon room to rule over me through the violence of this mortal body; strengthen my afflicted and feeble hand, and guide me onto the path of salvation.
Forgiveness and Daily Guidance
The prayer seeks forgiveness for past offenses and asks for the Angel's intercession to live a life pleasing to God.
Yes, holy Angel of God, guardian and protector of my wretched soul and body, forgive me for every way I have offended you throughout my life. If I sinned in any way during this past night, protect me today and preserve me from every temptation of the enemy, so that I don't anger God by any sin. Pray for me to the Lord, that he may establish me in reverent fear of him and make me a worthy servant of his goodness. Amen.

Святы́й А́нгеле, предстоя́й окая́нной мое́й души́ и стра́стней мое́й жи́зни, не оста́ви мене́ гре́шнаго, ниже́ отступи́ от мене́ за невоздержа́ние мое́. Не даждь ме́ста лука́вому де́мону облада́ти мно́ю, наси́льством сме́ртнаго сего́ телесе́; укрепи́ бе́дствующую и худу́ю мою́ ру́ку и наста́ви мя на путь спасе́ния. Ей, святы́й А́нгеле Бо́жий, храни́телю и покрови́телю окая́нныя моея́ души́ и те́ла, вся мне прости́, ели́кими тя оскорби́х во вся дни живота́ моего, и а́ще что согреши́х в преше́дшую нощь сию́, покры́й мя в настоя́щий день, и сохрани́ мя от вся́каго искуше́ния проти́внаго, да ни в ко́ем гресе́ прогне́ваю Бо́га, и моли́ся за мя ко Го́споду, да утверди́т мя в стра́се Свое́м, и досто́йна пока́жет мя раба́ Своея́ бла́гости. Ами́нь.
