Rediscover the comfort and protection of your childhood prayer in its original language. In this episode of the Latin Prayer Podcast, we explore the Angele Dei (Angel of God), the ancient prayer to our Guardian Angels.
We begin with a brief history of the devotion to Guardian Angels, tracing the roots from the Book of Exodus and the Psalms through the early Church Fathers like St. Basil and St. Jerome. We then dive into a comprehensive Latin learning guide, breaking down the prayer line-by-line to understand the rich meaning behind words like custos (guardian), pietate (divine love), and gubernare (to steer or guide).
Whether you are teaching this prayer to your children or deepening your own trust in God’s providence, this episode will help you pray the Angele Dei with confidence and understanding.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The biblical and historical roots of the Guardian Angel prayer.
- How to pronounce and translate the Angele Dei line-by-line.
- The etymology behind English words like "custodian" and "govern" found in the Latin text.
- The theological meaning of entrusting oneself to a heavenly protector.
