Prayer to the Holy Angels

Prayer to the Holy Angels

To you, as intercessors and guardians of our life, I come with bow and petition. I, wretched (wretched) and many‑sinned (many‑sinned), ask you—have mercy on me. You, who behold the divine majesty, you holy angels who stand nearest, in humility and reverence before the throne of the Most Holy Trinity, you whom the unspeakable radiance of God's glory illuminates, pray to merciful God that He may keep me from all evil, especially from falling into temptations. Obtain for me, by your prayers, the grace to live the days of my life god‑filled and the grace to serve God with the piety with which you served our Lord Jesus Christ when He walked upon the earth, and with which you now serve Him in heaven. And you, my Lord, Lamb of God, who took upon yourself the sins of the whole world, for the prayer of your Most Holy Mother and all the heavenly spirits who surround the throne of your divine majesty, hear my petition and send your guardian angel to my soul and my body, that under his guidance I may be protected (protected) from visible and invisible enemies and may partake of your mercy together with all your benefactors. Amen.

Saint great Archistrategos Michael! You, who stand nearest to the Most Holy Trinity, commander of the heavenly hosts, who by the cry “Who is like God?” cast the rebellious heavenly spirits into the abyss of hell, protect our Church, our people, my family and me from the snares of the evil one, and cause God to prevail in my life and in all things. Amen.

Great Gabriel, radiant messenger of the uncreated light! To you was revealed a great mystery that from the ages had been guarded and hidden even from the angels. And you disclosed this mystery to the sole Most Pure One on the day of the Annunciation in Nazareth. Together with her, pray to the Almighty God that He may grant our souls peace and His great mercy. Amen.

Saint Raphael, you who called yourself one of the seven holy angels who lift the prayers of the saints and stand before the glory of the Holy God! You were the companion of Tobit on his long journey, you were his guide and guardian who always gave good counsel and protected him in danger, you were in all things a faithful helper and friend. Be also to us, who now travel the perilous earthly journey of life, you, great heavenly archangel, be to us all a companion and guide in our pilgrimage. Pray to the Lord Christ for me, the needy (needy) and humble (humble), that my enemy may not rejoice over my ruin and that he may not say of me, “this person lived in emptiness and the days of his life passed in vain, like a shadow.” Saint Archangel Raphael, protect me from such an unhappy end of my life’s road. Amen.
