Eternal Creator of all, who governs the sea, the
sun, the sky, you who justly rewards all men according to their works, You
condemn to destruction the proud spirit and all this accomplices, but
strengthen the truly humble. We faithfully pray to you, send to us these
defenders, through whom graciously grant the gifts of salvation. May they visit us with consolation, purify
us, inflame, teach us, arouse us always to seek the good, may they stop the
power of demons. O glory of the angels,
make our path secure, grant that they may guard us, that we may see you. O To
you, O Lord of the angels, be our song of praise, who in wonderful order make
the heavenly places for us and them. Amen.
O great Creator of the world, who made with your
mighty right hand whatever exists, and
no less rules all things in your providence,
be present with this assembly who prays to you and when the evening of
light comes, grant a new light to our minds. May your angel assigned to guard
us be present to protect us from the corruption of sin. May he destroy the slanders of the envious
serpent that our incautious hearts might
not be caught in his web of deceit. May he repel far from our borders all fear of the enemy;
promote peace among citizens and put to flight all pestilence. To God the
Father be glory, who through hid angels guards those whom the Son has redeemed
and the Holy Spirit has anointed. Amen.
We sing of the angels, the guardians of men, whom
the Father gave as heavenly companions to our frail nature, that we might not
succumb to the plots of our enemies. For, when the traitor angel fell, he
rightly lost the honors which had been given to him, burning with envy he
strived to repel those who God calls to heaven. Therefore, ever-vigilant
guardian and turn away from the land entrusted to you sickness of soul and
whatever will not let the people live in peace. Loving praise be ever given to
the Trinity, who by his eternal will the threefold fabric of the world is ruled
and by whose glory he governs all ages. Amen.
