Invocation of the Nine Choirs of Angels
O HOLY Angels, watch over us at all times during this perilous life; holy Archangels, be our guides on the way to heaven; O heavenly choir of the Principalities, govern us in soul and body; O mighty Powers, preserve us against the wiles of the demons; O celestial Virtues, give us strength and courage in the battle of life; O powerful Dominations, obtain for us dominion over the rebellion of our flesh; O sacred Thrones, grant us peace with God and man; O brilliant Cherubim, illumine our minds with heavenly knowledge; O burning Seraphim, enkindle in our hearts the fire of charity. Amen.

'St. Joseph
ANT. In whatever tribulation they shall cry to me, I will hear them and be their protector always.
- V. Obtain for us, O Joseph, to lead an innocent life.
- R. And may it ever be safe through thy
patronage.
Let us Pray
O GOD, Who in Thine unspeakable providence didst vouchsafe to choose blessed Joseph to be the husband of Thy most holy Mother, mercifully grant that, as we venerate him for our protector on earth, we may deserve to be aided by his intercession in heaven. Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.
