Protect us from ourselves, from our own cowardice and tepidity, from our own self-seeking and avarice, from our envy and mistrust, from our craving for satiation, comfort and recognition. Free us from the bonds of sinand attachment to worldly things. Take the blindfold from our eyes that we ourselves placed there so that we might not see the misery around us, but complacently look to and pity ourselves. Set the goad of holy restlessness for God in our hearts, so that we never cease to seek God withlonging, contrition and love! see more: https://alittlepilgrim.org/supplication-to-the-holy-angels

I hope these prayers have inspired and uplifted you.If you’ve found something meaningful in these quiet prayers, I’d love to know. There’s a short poll below or please leave me a comment. In the meantime, may God bless us and keep us close to his Heart. See you soon!The MagnificatMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.Amen
