Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
O Raphael, the Archangel,
lay the request we now address to you
at the feet of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze.
Lonely and tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth,
we feel the need of calling to you
and of pleading for the protection of your wings,
so that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy.
Remember the weak,
you who are strong–you whose home lies
beyond the region of thunder,
in a land that is always peaceful, always serene,
and bright with the resplendent glory of God.
Amen.
St. Gabriel, the Archangel,
O Captain and Leader of the armies of heaven,
unworthy as we are, we beseech you without cease
to surround us with your intercession and cover us
beneath the shelter of the glory of your ethereal wings.
We bend our kneee and cry out with perservance:
“Deliver us from danger, O Prince of the Powers on high!”
Amen.
