The Invocation of the Nine Choirs of Angels
O Holy Angels, watch over us, at all times during this perilous life; O Holy Archanges, 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.
Pay attention in mass as we begin the Eucharistic Prayer and before the Holy Holy Holy prayer, listen carefully to the priest. You will hear him say;
And so, with Angels and Archangels,
with Thrones and Dominions,
and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory, as without end we acclaim:
The priest is uniting us with all of the orders of angels to sing/pray;
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory,
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
or in Latin;
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear.
To whom God's love commits thee here.
Ever this day be at my side,
to light, to guard, to rule and to guide.
