pray...
Appointed captain of the
Heavenly Hosts and defender of the Elect of God, we - delivered by you
from afflictions - offer this Hymn
of
Thanksgiving, while entreating you,
through the Grace of God and enlisting the Intercession of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, to set us free from all distress so that we
may
eternally cry with
faith and love and with total abandonment:
Holy,
Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and Earth are full of
Your Glory.
Hosanna
in the Highest - Blessed Is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord -
Hosanna in the Highest.
Prayer of
Entrustment
O great and holy Michael,
Archangel of God, standing at the head of the angels before the
everlasting Trinity, O advocate
and preserver of
mankind, who - with your hosts - has broken in Heaven
the head of the
daystar, Satan, the exceedingly proud one, and who always puts to shame
his
evil and cunning servants on Earth, we come to you with faith, and ask
of you
with confidence to:
Be an
unbreakable shield
and firm bastion for the Elect of God, protecting us with your
lightning sword.
Be for us a guardian
angel, a wise counselor and helper, bringing to us from the foot of the
Throne
of the Eternal Ruling King and Lord, our God, enlightenment and
strength, joy,
peace and comfort and a desire to serve Him Eternally.
Be for us the chief
captain and fellow-fighter,
crowning us with glory and victory over unjust adversaries,
so that all who oppose us may know that God and His holy angels stand
ready to
defend us.
Be, in union with
Raphael, the physician and healer of those wounded.
Be the pillar
and
defender of the children of God who are in captivity.
Forsake not, 0 Archangel
of God, with your help and protection, those
of us who
today glorify your holy name. For, behold, though we are great
sinners, we
desire not to perish in our iniquities but to turn to the Lord and,
through
Him, only live for good works.
Illuminate our minds with
the light of the
Countenance of God that shines without ceasing,
that we may understand that the Will of God is always good and perfect
and knows all that is right for us to do, and even that which is right
to omit
and overlook.
Strengthen, through the
Grace of
the Lord, our weak and feeble purpose, so
that, made firm in the Commandments of the Lord, we may cease to wallow
in
earthly thoughts of the flesh as senseless children drawn by the world
do.
Above all,
ask from on high,
for us, a true spirit of repentance, true sorrow and contrition for
our sins
before God, so that we may spend the remaining number of our days in
this
temporal
life, not in the satisfying of our feelings and in the bondage to our
passions,
but in the service of God while blotting out all the evil that we may
have
done in the past by means of works of charity and acts of loving
mercy.
When the hour of our end,
and of
our liberation from the earthly bonds of our own bodies, draws near, O
Archangel
of God, leave us not without defense against the earthly spirits of
evil who
try to hinder the entry of man into the Heavenly places. Preserved by
you, and assisted by the prayers of our Heavenly Mother and those of
Gabriel, may
we, without hindrance, reach Paradise
where there is neither sorrow nor sighing, but only life without end.
May we be
made worthy to behold the Face of our all-gracious Lord and Master, and
falling
at His feet with tears, may we cry out in joy and tender feeling:
Glory
to You,
our most tender, dear Redeemer, Who, because of Your great love for us,
your
unworthy servants and handmaidens, has been pleased to send Your
archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, in the
service of our salvation!
May all
the powers of Heaven praise You, and give Glory, Honor and Thanksgiving
to You, Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit -
now and ever and
forever. Amen.
O chosen captain of the
Heavenly Hosts, standing with
Gabriel and Raphael before the
throne of the King of Glory, deliver us from all
afflictions so that we may offer to Him this Hymn of Thanksgiving with
faith, love and
total
abandonment:
Holy,
Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might ,Heaven and Earth are full of
Your Glory.
Hosanna
in the Highest - Blessed Is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord -
Hosanna in the Highest.
Concluding
Prayers
To
Michael the
Archangel
O Glorious Prince St. Michael the
Archangel, chief and commander of the Heavenly Hosts, guardian of
souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the House of the Divine
King, and our admirable conductor, thou who dost shine with excellence
and superhuman virtue, vouchsafe to deliver us from all evil, who turn
to thee with confidence, and enable us by thy gracious protection to
serve God more and more faithfully every day.
Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, prince of the Elect of Jesus
Christ. That we may be made worthy of His promises.
Amen!
To
God the
Father
Almighty and Everlasting
God, who by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the
salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel, St.
Michael, Prince of The Elect, make us worthy, we beseech Thee, to be
delivered from all our enemies that none of them may harass us at the
hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into the August
Presence of Thy Divine Majesty. This we beg through the merits of
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
