Who brought good tidings when Christ was born, 
Who ministered to Him in the desert, 
Who comforted Him in His agony, 
Who sat in white garments at His sepulcher, 
Who appeared to the disciples as He went up into Heaven, 
Who shall go before Him bearing the standard of the Cross 
when He comes to judge, 
Who shall gather together the elect at the End of the World, 
Who shall separate the wicked from among the just, 
Who offer to God the prayers of those who pray, 
Who assist us at the hour of death, 
Who carried Lazarus into Abraham's bosom, 
Who conduct to Heaven the Souls of the just, 
Who perform signs and wonders by the power of God, 
Who are sent to minister for those who shall receive the inheritance  of salvation, 
Who are set over kingdoms and provinces, 
Who have often put to flight armies of enemies, 
Who have often delivered God's servants from prison and other perils of this life, 
Who have often consoled the holy Martyrs in their torments, 
Who cherish with particular care the Bishops of the Church, 

All ye holy orders of blessed spirits, pray for us.

From all dangers, deliver us, O Lord. 
From the snares of the devil, deliver us, O Lord. 
From all heresy and schism, deliver us, O Lord. 
From plague, famine and war, deliver us, O Lord. 
From sudden and unexpected death, deliver us, O Lord. 
From everlasting death, deliver us, O Lord.

We sinners Beseech Thee to hear us.

Through the holy Angels, we beseech Thee, hear us. 
That Thou wouldst spare us, we beseech Thee, hear us. 
That Thou wouldst pardon us, we beseech Thee, hear us. 
That Thou wouldst govern and preserve Thine Holy Church, we beseech Thee, hear us. 
That Thou wouldst protect our bishop and all ministers of the Church, 
That Thou wouldst grant peace and security to all country rulers, 
That Thou wouldst give and preserve the fruits of the earth, 
That Thou wouldst grant eternal rest to all the Faithful departed,

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord. 
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord. 
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us.

Lord have mercy. 
Christ have mercy. 
Lord have mercy.

Recite the Our Father

Bless the Lord, all ye Angels: Thou who art mighty in strength, who fulfill His commandments, listening to the voice of His words.  He has given His Angels charge over you, To keep you in all His ways.

Let Us Pray
O God, Who doth arrange the services of Angels and men in a wonderful order, mercifully grant that our life may be protected on  earth by those who always do Thy service in Heaven, through Jesus  Christ Thy Son, Who with Thee and the Holy Spirit are one God, now and forever. Amen.

O God, Who in Thine unspeakable Providence sends Thy Angels to  keep guard over us, grant us that we may be continually defended by  their protection and may rejoice eternally in their company, through  Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who livest and reignest with Thee, in the unity  of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
