The August Queen Prayer Our Lady with the Archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael On January 13, 1864, a soul (Father Louis Cestac, who died in 1868) accustomed to the favors of the most Holy Virgin, was suddenly struck as if with a ray of divine clarity. He believed to have seen demons spread out over the earth, causing unbelievable ravage. At the same time, he had an elevation towards the Holy Virgin. This good mother would have told him that as a matter of fact, the time had come to pray to the Queen of the angels, and to ask Her to send the holy legions to combat and overthrow the powers of hell. “My Mother,” said this soul, “you who are so good, could You not send them without our having to ask?” “No,” replied the Holy Virgin. “Prayer is a condition set by God Himself in order to obtain graces.” “Well then! my mother,” replied the soul, “would you teach me Yourself how we must pray to You?” And he received from the most Holy Virgin the prayer: “August Queen”: August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly sovereign of the Angels, Thou who from the beginning received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech Thee to send Your holy Legions, so that under Thy command and through Thy power, they may pursue the demons and combat them everywhere, suppress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss. Who is like God? O good and tender Mother, Thou will always be our love and hope! O Divine Mother, send Thy Holy Angels to defend me and to drive far away from me the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, guard us. Amen. Plain English August Queen of the Heavens, Heavenly sovereign of the Angels You who from the beginning Received From God the power and the mission To crush the head of satan We humbly ask you to send your holy legions
I like the "Plain English" version of prayers!! .... and why I like the Heartlight Daily Verse that "shows" in my e-mail: Heartlight Daily Verse - July 26 Hebrews 11:1 Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Thoughts on today's verse: While the road ahead of us may be filled with questions and concerns, we can look back and see the many ways God has acted in our behalf to get us to the places we need to be. We see his work through history and we can take assurance that his promises are true and his victory in us is assured. Prayer: Almighty God, I believe that before there was a world, you existed. I trust that even now you sustain our world with your word of grace. I am confident that before the future arrives you are already there preparing it for us. Help me when I worry to remember my faith and to press on trusting that you are there. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Visit heartlight.org for more GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
