O ye, who stand around the throne of the most High God,
Pray for us.
O ye, who always see the face of the heavenly Father,
O ye, to whom: God has committed the care and guardianship of mankind,
O ye, who brought forth Lot and his family from the midst of the wicked,
O ye, who ministered to Christ in the desert, when he had put the tempter to flight,
O ye, who carried Lazarus into Abraham's bosom,
O ye, who often delivered the servants of God from prison and dangers,
O ye, who often comforted the holy martyrs in the midst of torments,
O ye who carry up, and offer to God the prayers of his servants,
O ye, who have joy in heaven upon one sinner's doing penance,
O ye, who have been set over nations, kingdoms and provinces,
O ye, who will attend upon Jesus Christ, when he comes to judge the world,
O ye, ministering Spirits, sent to minister for those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation,
O ye, Angels of the Lord, who are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders,
O ye, the hosts of the Lord, his ministers, who do his will,
O thou, holy Angel, my faithful guardian,
Holy Angel, my guide and my friend,
Holy Angel, my counsellor and powerful intercessor,
Holy Angel, my protector and comforter,
All ye orders of blessed Spirits,
Be merciful unto us; Spare us, O Lord.
Be merciful unto us; Hear us, O Lord.
From all dangers, by thy holy Angels, O Lord, deliver us.
From the snares of the devil, by thy holy Angels, O Lord, deliver us.
From all sin, by thy holy Angels, O Lord, deliver us.
From a sudden and unprovided death, by thy holy Angels, O Lord, deliver us.
We sinners do beseech thee to hear us.
