August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly Sovereign of the Angels, Thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech Thee to send thy 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. O good and tender Mother, Thou wilt always be our love and hope! O Divine Mother, send Thy Holy Angels to defend us and to drive far away from us the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, guard us. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us.

Virgin Most Powerful, pray for us.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.

All You Holy Angels, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

All My Hope

All my hope is in You.

All my hope is in Your great Love.

All my hope is in Your great Mercy.

Seeing but darkly,

You are my Light.

Clouds conceal Your brilliance,

But Faith lifts the veil,

And I behold You.

Hidden in my very being.

Despite my smallness,

You dignify my every breath and heart beat,

Giving me Your holy inspiration,

Hiding me in Your Heart,

Cleansing me by Your Blood.

How could I but hope?

You spend Yourself on me.

You are my treasure,

Mercy purer than gold,

Love greater than diamonds,

And, I know, without doubt,

You treasure me.
