Guardian Angel
Every person, church, diocese and country has a Guardian Angel. Many Saints have seen and talked about these angels.
ÁNGELE DEI, qui custos es mei,
Me, tibi commissum pietáte supérna; Hodie/Hac nocte illúmina, custódi, rege et gubérna. Amen |
ANGEL OF GOD, my guardian dear,
To whom his love commits me here; Ever this day/night be at my side, To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen |
Guardian Angels protect us from harm. Pray to your Guardian Angel frequently.
St Michael the Archangel
St Michael the Archangel cast Satan and his hordes into hell (Book of Revelation 12: 7-9). He is the leader of the heavenly army (Daniel 12: 1; Joshua 5: 13-15).
SÁNCTE MÍCHAEL ARCHÁGELE, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium.
Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen |
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen. |
Say this prayer after Mass often!
Michael means 'who is like God' מִיכָאֵל (Quis ut Deus)? His Feast Day is 29 September.

St Gabriel the Archangel
Archangel Gabriel helped the prophet Daniel interpret his dreams (Daniel 9:1-27). St Gabriel also announced to Mary that she would be the Mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). He will blow his trumpet when Jesus comes again!
O BLESSED ARCHANGEL GABRIEL, we beseech thee, do thou intercede for us at the throne of divine Mercy in our present necessities, that as thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation, so through thy prayers and patronage in heaven we may obtain the benefits of the same, and sing the praise of God forever in the land of the living
Amen.
Amen.
Ask St Gabriel for help with your prayers, and he will come.
Gabriel means 'strong man of God' גַּבְרִיאֵל. His Feast Day is 24 March.

St Raphael the Archangel
There once lived a young man called Tobias. His father, Tobit, became blind and asked Tobias to travel to the city of Medes to collect some money that was owed to him.
The Archangel Raphael appeared to Tobias as his cousin and offered to accompany him because he knew the way to Medes. As they started their journey, Tobias was joined by a dog.
The next day, when Tobias was washing his feet in the River Tigris, a giant fish attacked him! Raphael urged Tobias to catch the fish by grabbing it by the gills.
He then instructed Tobias to keep the heart, gall and liver of the fish. Raphael explained that the smoke rising from pieces of the heart and liver on hot coals would scare off demons, and the gall could cure blindness.
When they reached Medes, Raphael told Tobias to seek out Sara, and ask for her hand in marriage. Sara was very distressed at the time because she had tried to marry 7 times, but each one of her husbands were killed by a demon straight after their wedding. With the fish's liver, Tobias was able to repel the demon, and Raphael captured it.
Tobias collected his father's money, returned home and cured his father with the gall of the fish.
Raphael then revealed his true identity! (Book of Tobit)

SAINT RAPHAEL, you are known to help people who ask you for different kinds of help,
but especially those who have bad dreams.
Please ask God to protect me from my fears;
be with me when I sleep and help to keep the bad dreams away.
Amen

Amen
Just as St Raphael the Archangel healed Tobit, we can pray to him for good health. St Raphael accompanied and protected Tobias on his journey. As we sleep, we might need the protection of St Raphael as our minds go on a nighttime journey of dreams. Pray to him for protection from bad dreams.
Raphael means 'God has healed' רָפָאֵל. His Feast Day is 24 October.
