Blessed Saint Gabriel, Archangel
We beseech thee to intercede for us at the throne of divine mercy:
As thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation,
so through thy prayers may we receive strength of faith and

May we sing the praise of God our Savior with the angels and saints in heaven
forever and ever. Amen.  

 

Blessed Saint Raphael, Archangel,
We beseech thee to help us in all our needs and trials of this life,
as thou, through the power of God, didst restore sight and give guidance to young Tobit.
We humbly seek thine aid and intercession,
that our souls may be healed,
our bodies protected from all ills,
and that through divine grace we may be made fit
to dwell in the eternal Glory of God in heaven. Amen.
 

 

Policeman’s Prayer to Saint Michael  

St. Michael, Heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police,
 who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all it's undesirables, 
look with kindly and professional eye on your earthly force. 
Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, 
uncanny flair for investigation, and wise judgment. 
Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, 
kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers, and impervious to temptations. 
You know, St. Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, 
that the policeman's lot on Earth is not always a happy one; 
but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, 
and your angelic self-control give us inspiration. And when we lay down our night sticks, 
enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God, 
as we have been to guard the city of men. Amen.
