Sancte Michael Archángele, defénde nos in prœlio; contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto praesídium. Imperet illi Deus; súpplices deprecámur: tuque, Princeps milítiæ cœléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte et inférnum detrúde. Amen.

Te Deus Patrem ingénitum, te Fílium uningénitum, te Spíritum Sanctum Paráclitum, sanctam et indivíduam Trinitátem, toto corde et ore confitémur, laudámus atque benedícimus. (ex Missale Romano)

With all our heart and voice, we acknowledge, we praise and we bless Thee, God the Father unbegotten, Thee, the only-begotten Son, Thee, the Holy Ghost the Paraclete, O holy and undivided Trinity. (Roman Missal)

Lord God Almighty, Who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same by Thy mighty power, that this day we may fall into no sin, but that all our words may so proceed, and all our thoughts and actions may be so directed as to do always that which is just in Thy sight. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Roman Breviary)

Dómine Deus omnípotens, qui ad princípium huius diéi nos perveníre fecísti: tua nos hódie salva virtúte; ut in hac die ad nullum declinémus peccátum, sed semper ad tuam iustítiam faciédam nostra procédant elóquia, dirigántur cogitatiónes et ópera. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen. (ex Brevario Romano)

Visit, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this dwelling, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy; let Thy Holy Angels dwell herein, to preserve us in peace; and let Thy blessing be always upon us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Roman Breviary)

Vísta, quǽsumos Dómine, habitatiónem istam, et omnes insídias inimíci ab ea longe repélle: Angeli tui sancti hábitent in ea, qui nos in pace custódiant; et benedíctio tua sit super nos semper. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen. (ex Brevario Romano)

Actiones nostras, quǽsumus, Domine, aspirando præveni et adiuvando prosequere, ut cuncta nostra oratio et operatio a te semper incipiat, et per te coepta finiatur. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Direct, O Lord, we beseech Thee, all our actions by Thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by Thy gracious assistance, so that every prayer and work of ours may begin always from Thee, and by Thee be happily ended. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Evening Prayer

Watch Thou, dear Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give Thine angels charge over those who sleep. Tend Thy sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest Thy weary ones. Bless Thy dying ones. Soothe Thy suffering ones. Pity Thine afflicted ones. Shield Thy joyous ones. And all, for Thy Love’s sake. Amen. ~ St. Augustine (354-430)
