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.
