Prayers

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

On the Angel medal pray:
O my Jesus, I offer this chaplet to Your Divine Heart, that You may render it perfect, thus giving joy to Your Holy Angels, and so they may keep me under their holy protection, above all at the hour of my death to which I invite them with all my heart. Strengthened by their presence, I will await death with joy and be preserved from the assaults of hell. I beseech you also, dear Angels, to visit immediately the souls in Purgatory, especially my parents, my friends, my benefactors; help them so that they will soon be delivered. Do not forget me either after my death. This I beg you with all my heart, through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.

On the 1st bead:
Saint Michael, I recommend the hour of my death to you! Hold the Evil One prisoner, so that he may not battle against me and do no harm to my soul.

On the 2nd bead:
Saint Gabriel, obtain for me from God lively faith, strong hope, ardent charity and great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

On the 3rd bead:
Saint Raphael, lead me constantly on the road of virtue and perfection.

On the 4th bead:
My Holy Guardian Angel, obtain for me divine inspiration and the special grace to be faithful.
