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)

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.

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.

Amen.

“GOLDEN ARROW” PRAYER
Dictated by Our Lord to
Sister Mary of St. Peter in 1843

In 1844 Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this “Golden Arrow” Prayer, as torrents of graces streamed forth from His Heart for the conversion of sinners.

Daily Act of Oblation
100 Days, once a day. Leo XIII, December 19, 1885.

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, in union with that divine intention with which Thou didst on earth offer praises to GOD through thy Sacred Heart, and now dost continue to offer them in all places in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and wilt do so to the end of the world, I most willingly offer Thee, throughout this entire day without the smallest exception, all my intentions and thoughts, all my affections and desires, all my words and actions, that they may be conformed to the most sacred heart of the blessed Virgin Mary ever Immaculate. Amen. (The Raccolta, 1910)

Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them. Apoc. 21: 3

May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon of Thee for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.

Meu Deus! Eu creio, adoro, espero e amo-Vos. Peço-Vos perdão para os que não crêem, não adoram, não esperam e Vos não amam.

This prayer was given to the three children of Fatima by the angel that visited them, the Angel of Peace (Patron of Portugal), in the Spring of 1916, the year before Our Lady appeared to them. The Angel of Peace has also been identified as St. Michael and this prayer is sometimes called ‘The Pardon Prayer’.
