I’ve been using this book for five years now. It has been an invaluable aid in my prayer life. I would grab one if you can.
This following prayer is great to say before prayer sessions:
Prayer for Protection to the Holy Angels
Holy angels,
God sent you
to protect and guide us.
We invite you in the Name of God,
one in three Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
to come to our help.
O blessed angels,
take care of us so that evil
may not come near us,
so that sin may not destroy us,
and that we may always serve Jesus
who never abandons us.
We invite you to help us
because we have received
as inheritance the blood
of our Lord and King,
Jesus Christ,
and the heart of
the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Queen of Angels.
May you inspire us
to seek God’s presence
and evade the steps of evil.
Carry our prayers
in the presence of the Most High,
and guard us from words
and actions that glorify
our common enemy, satan,
and his devils.
Amen.
