In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The First function
of the Holy Angels
is to praise God.
But God has also entrusted them
with the terrible battle against Satan
and all evil spirits,
under the orders of the Blessed Virgin.
His place is essential
in the victorious designs of the Woman
clothed with the sun
and in front of the red Dragon
"I saw that she was drunk,
drunk with the blood of the saints,
and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus;
and when I saw her,
I was completely mystified"
Revelation 17:6
And since they are always by our side
in the fight,
giving us strength and courage,
healing our wounds
and defending us from the Evil One,
let us always try to live
in his company.
Holy Angel,
you are my guardian, my tutor
and my teacher,
my guide and my defense,
my wise counselor
and my faithful friend,
I am entrusted to you
by the goodness of the Lord from the day of my birth
until the last hour of my life.
What respect I owe you,
you who are always
by my side,
wherever I go!
With so much appreciation
I thank you for the love you have for me.
What limitless confidence it gives me
to know that you are my help
and my advocate!
Holy Angel,
teach me,
correct me,
guard me
and guide me
on the straight and safe path
to the Holy City of God.
Don't let me do anything to offend
your holiness and purity.
Present my wishes to the Lord,
offer Him my prayers,
and show Him my miseries
Let me know from His infinite goodness,
through the maternal intercession of your Queen,
the Blessed Virgin Mary,
how to reach healing.
Watch over me when I am resting,
sustain me when I am tired,
catch me when I am going to fall,
pick me up when I have fallen,
show me the way when I am lost,
restore my courage when I am about to lose it,
enlighten me when I do not see,
defend me when I am attacked.
And, especially on the last day of my life,
be my shield against the devil.
With your defense and your conduct,
help me to finally enter the radiant abode
where I can eternally express my gratitude
and glorify with you the Lord and the Virgin Mary,
my Queen and yours.
Amen.
Angel of God, you to whom
I have been entrusted by divine goodness,
enlighten me today and tonight,
protect me,
direct me
and govern me! Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
