Today, while learning about St. Raphael, I learned a little about the nine choirs of angels, with some special emphasis on the importance of our Guardian Angel and of consecrating ourselves to this, the most special and important friend given us by God. If you feel called, you might consider making the consecration to the Holy Angels in general, and to your Guardian angel in particular. I have provided an approved Consecration below. :)
God bless...
The
Consecration to the Holy Angels
O Holy Angels of God, here, in the presence of the Triune God and in the love
of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer, I, N.N., poor sinner, want to make a
covenant with you, who are his servants, so that in union with you, I might
work with humility and fortitude for the glory of God and the coming of his
Kingdom. Therefore, I implore you to assist me, especially - in the adoration
of God and of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, - in the contemplation of
the word and the salvific works of God, -in the imitation of Christ and in the
love of his Cross in a spirit of expiation, - in the faithful fulfillment of my
mission within the Church, serving humbly after the example of Mary, my
heavenly Mother, your Queen. And you, my good guardian angel, who continually
behold the face of our Father in heaven, God entrusted me to you from the very
beginning of my life. I thank you with all my heart for your loving care. I
commit myself to you and promise you my love and fidelity. I beg you: protect
me against my own weakness and against the attacks of the wicked spirits;
enlighten my mind and my heart so that I may always know and accomplish the
will of God; and lead me to union with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
