Prayer for this morning (Wednesday, September 29)

Today, September 29 marks the feast of Archangels Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. Our prayer intentions this morning is that God, through the intercession of the holy archangels will protect, save and comfort us. Amen.

Prayer for the Morning

Let us praise God above all for ever!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,

is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia!

 

HYMN

O Lord, the angelsโ€™ sheer delight!

Their life reflects your splendor bright;

As we today their praise declare,

May we their joy for ever share.

 

Saint Michael, be our refuge here,

Preserve us from all useless fear;

Through you may God his peace bestow

On all the nations here below.

 

Saint Gabriel, b,,,e with us this day,

Reveal Godโ€™s will to us, we pray;

As Mary once did answer you,

May our response be firm and true.

 

Saint Raphael, heal our sinful heart,

May God his grace to us impart,

And may you guide us on the way

That we may never go astray.

 

PSALM 103:19-22

 

You walk on the wings of the wind,/ you make the winds your messengers/ and flashing fire your servants. (Ps 104:3-4)

The great archangelsโ€”Michael, Gabriel, and Raphaelโ€”lead the choirs of those awesome servants of God whom we picture as โ€œwings of the windโ€ and โ€œflashes of fire,โ€ and to whom we give the name โ€œangel,โ€ meaning โ€œmessenger.โ€

 

The Lord has set his sway in heaven

and his kingdom is ruling over all.

Give thanks to the Lord, all his angels,

mighty in power, fulfilling his word,

who heed the voice of his word.

 

Give thanks to the Lord, all his hosts,

his servants who do his will.

Give thanks to the Lord, all his works,

in every place where he rules.

My soul, give thanks to the Lord!

 

Glory to the Fatherโ€ฆ.

 

Word of God (Isaiah 6:1-3)

 

I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple. Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.

โ€œHoly, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!โ€ they cried one to the other. โ€œAll the earth is filled with his glory!โ€

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! (Is 6:3)

 

CANTICLE OF ZECHARIAH

Exult with him, you heavens,/ glorify him, all you angels of God. (Dt 32:43)

 

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;

he has come to his people and set them free.

He has raised up for us a mighty savior,

born of the house of his servant David.

 

Through his holy prophets he promised of old

that he would save us from our enemies,

from the hands of all who hate us.

 

He promised to show mercy to our fathers

and to remember his holy covenant.

 

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

to set us free from the hands of our enemies,

free to worship him without fear,

holy and righteous in his sight

all the days of our life.

 

You, my child, shall be called the prophet

of the Most High;

for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,

to give his people knowledge of salvation

by the forgiveness of their sins.

 

In the tender compassion of our God

the dawn from on high shall break upon us,

to shine on those who dwell in darkness

and the shadow of death,

and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

 

Glory to the Fatherโ€ฆ

 

INTERCESSIONS

 

To God who is enthroned upon the seraphim, we pray:

R/We give you thanks and praise!

Through the power of Michael, leader of the heavenly armies in the war against evil:

โ€“ protect your people, Lord! R/

Through the word of Gabriel, message-bearer of the Gospel:

โ€“ save your people, Lord! R/

Through the intervention of Raphael, companion and healer:

โ€“ comfort your people, Lord! R/

 

(Personal intentions)

 

Our Fatherโ€ฆ.

 

O God, in your great wisdom you have given to your angels and to your people each their proper tasks. Grant us their protection, who serve ever in your presence, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
