Angel of God is a Roman Catholic traditional prayer for the intercession of the guardian angel, often taught by mothers to their young children as the first prayer learned. It serves as a reminder of God's love, and by enjoining the guardian angel to support the child in a loving way, the prayer echoes God's abiding love.
