A Prayer to All the Angels and Saints Before Mass

Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations,

Principalities, Powers, celestial Virtues,

Cherubim and Seraphim;

all Saints of God,

holy men and women,

and you especially, my patrons:

deign to plead for me

that I may have grace to offer worthily this sacrifice to almighty God,

to the praise and glory of His Name,

for my own welfare also

and that of all His holy Church.

Amen.
