Prayer To Saint Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle;

be our protection against the wickedness 

and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:

and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,

by the power of God,

thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits

who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Saint Gertrude's Prayer To Accept Suffering

My Divine Savior, Jesus,

You loved me to such a degree

as to suffer and die for my salvation.

Through the love I have for You,

I most willingly offer to Your honor

all that I have ever suffered in the past,

am now suffering,

or will suffer in the future.

This is the basis and motive

of the love that animates me.

Your love enables me to suffer with joy.

I will to suffer because You suffered

and because You want me to suffer,

for I love You more than myself.

Amen

-- Saint Gertrude the Great
