 Heal me and I shall be healed, for Thou, O Lord, art my Saviour; let my prayer come to Thy holy temple.

To Thee, O Lord, be honour and power unto endless ages. Amen.

I BELIEVE, O holy Angel, that thou art appointed by God Almighty to be my guardian. Wherefore, through Him who has set thee to this task, I, who am so miserable, so weak, and so unworthy, humbly ask that thou wilt ever and always in this life watch over me; that thou wilt guard me from all evils and ever shield me. And when God shall bid my spirit depart hence, let not the devils have power over it, but do thou gently receive my soul from my body and lovingly bear it into Abraham's bosom, at the bidding and by the help of my Creator, my Saviour, and my God, who is blessed for ever and ever. Amen.
