Spiritual Protection
Catholic Protection Prayers
The Church has prayed for protection for two thousand years — at nightfall, over households, and in the face of the enemy. These are her prayers: Psalm 91, the St. Michael Prayer of Pope Leo XIII, the Guardian Angel prayer, and the blessings of home and family. Full text, narrated audio, and free prayer cards.
