SPIRITUAL PATRONS

Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.  May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the wicked spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen.

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament hast left us a memorial of Thy passion: grant us, we beseech, to venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy body and blood in such a way that we may ever sense within us the fruit of Thy redemption.

Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that we who, glorying in the most Sacred Heart of Thy beloved Son, celebrate the singular benefits of His love toward us, may rejoice equally in their operation and their fruit.

O God, Creator of all things, Who didst lay on the human race the law of labour: graciously grant that by following the example of St. Joseph and under his patronage, we may carry out the work Thou dost command, and obtain the reward Thou dost promise.
