O Holy Angel, whom God, by the effect of His goodness and His tender regard for my spiritual welfare, has charged with the care of my conduct, and who assists me in all my wants and comforts me in all my afflictions, who supports me when I am discouraged and continually obtains for me new favours, I return thee profound thanks, and I earnestly beseech thee, O most amiable Protector, to continue thy charitable care and defence of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies. Keep me away from all occasions of sin. Obtain for me the grace of listening attentively to thy holy inspirations and of faithfully putting them into practice. In particular, I implore thee to obtain for me the favour which I ask for by this novena.
[Here mention your need(s).]
Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death, and do not leave me until thou hast conducted me into the Divine Presence of my Creator in the Mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen.
O most faithful companion, appointed by God to be my Guardian, and who never leaves my side, how shall I thank you for your faithfulness and love and for the benefits which you have obtained for me!
You watch over me when I sleep; you comfort me when I am sad; you avert the dangers that threaten me and warn me of those to come; you withdraw me from sin and inspire me to good; you exhort me to penance when I fall and reconcile me to God.
I beg you not to leave me. Comfort me in adversity, restrain me in prosperity, defend me in danger, and assist me in temptations, lest at any time I fall beneath them. Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty my prayers and petitions, and all my works of piety, and help me to persevere in grace until I come to everlasting life. Amen.

Day 1
For all Crusader members' families and their intentions
In thanksgiving to the Holy Guardian Angels of my family for all the care and help they have given to us all these years
The most moving and explicit example of the Guardian Angels' protection happened a few years ago. My youngest son was 3 at the time, when his oldest brother and sister just drove home from the local university. Patrick got excited and dashed over to see them, just when Steve started backing up the car in the driveway. We all yelled and hollered and Pat (thankfully) stopped in time. But Steve told me later that he distinctly heard a voice telling him to "Stop!" - that Pat was going to dash out. I can only attribute that to his angel...or maybe Pat's. Either way, I thanked the angels now and offer this story in thanksgiving again for their protection.
The kids have often asked me why people don't always get helped by their angels, and I have replied that maybe sometimes their angels do warn them and people don't always listen.
What a wonderful grace, Susan!
Thank you for sharing that with us. :-)
In profound thanksgiving to my Holy Guardian for all his help to me all these years, and in contrition for my lack of love and thanks towards him.
Also, in thanksgiving to the Guardian Angels of all of my children. Any mother will tell you stories of their children getting out of "narrow escapes" and not knowing how they managed to do so without some sort of heavenly help.
