To the Holy Archangel Who Strengthened Our Lord in His Agony

I salute thee, holy Angel

who didst comfort my Jesus in His agony,

and with thee I praise the most holy Trinity

for having chosen thee

from among all the holy Angels

to comfort and strengthen Him

who is the comfort and strength

of all that are in affliction.

By the honoUr thou didst enjoy

and by the obedience,

humility and love wherewith

thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus,

my Saviour,

when He was fainting for very sorrow

at seeing the sins of the world

and especially my sins,

I beseech thee to obtain for me

perfect sorrow for my sins;

deign to strengthen me In the afflictions

that now overwhelm me,

and in all the other trials,

to which I shall be exposed henceforth and,

in particular,

when I find myself in my final agony.

Amen.
