OLY archangel Michael, defend us in battle, that we may not perish in the tremendous day of judgment.

(Ind. of 100 days, once a day.—Leo XIII. Aug. 19, 1893.)

LORIOUS Archangel, St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, illustrious by thy gifts of wisdom and grace, guide of travelers by land and sea, consoler of the unfortunate and refuge of sinners, I entreat thee to help me in all my needs and in all the trials of this life, as thou didst once assist the young Tobias in his journeying. And since thou art the “‘physician of God,” I humbly pray thee to heal my soul of its many infirmities and my body of the ills that afflict it, if this favor is for my greater good. I ask, especially, for angelic purity, that I may be made fit to be the living temple of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

(Ind. of 100 days. — Leo XIII. June 21, 1890.)
