Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael

“In the sight of the angels I will sing your praise, Lord” (Psalm 138).

Blessed be your name, O Lord, for you sent the archangels for us: Michael who protects us from all principalities and powers of darkness and evil; Gabriel who comes to announce good news for us; and Raphael who guides us in our journey.

Through their intercessions, may the Church and all your children be defended against all principalities and powers of darkness and the spirit of wickedness; may we be guided by God’s light and be transfigured in God’s joy; and may we receive strength in this journey of faith.

With all the archangels, may God’s name be praised now and forever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
