Background
The Magi who visited Baby Jesus offered him the gifts of frankincense, myrrh, and gold – symbols of riches in those times. They had spent a lot for their journey, bringing with them servants, camels and security personnel. They could afford these gifts and such an expensive journey because they were prosperous.
The Magi were the first devotees to the Child Jesus of Prosperity. By offering expensive gifts, they underscored that material things would only have meaning if they are returned to the Creator. They knew they were not owners of what they had but were only custodians.
Though they were successful in their material pursuits, the Magi likewise understood that the search for God is the most important business of all. Their hard work to obtain their wealth did not blind them to the primacy of God.
God wants us to develop this earth and use its resources to make the world a better place to live in. Poverty in the midst of abundance means that some do not heed the call to share their resources. Christian prosperity means to recognize one’s social responsibility, to share to the needy, no to monopolize riches while others have nothing to eat. Such awareness could only come if in our material pursuits we understand that the search for God should be our most important undertaking.
To be devoted to the Child Jesus of Prosperity means making a promise to Jesus that in all things we seek his glory, and as we work hard, we place in his hands our business and other material undertakings.
Daily Prayer
(This daily prayer is to be recited before the specific prayer of each day.)
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, we place in your hands our material undertakings. You multiplied the five loaves and two fish, and you were able to feed fifteen thousand people. We believe that whatever you bless will be multiplied, and this abundance is always for your greater glory. We ask you to make us prosperous so that we can help the needy in our midst. We do not pursue material things for their sake because we know that without your presence, riches will only lead us to sin and greater selfishness. We invoke your presence so that, as we begin this undertaking, you may watch over us. Please, Lord, if you see us worthy custodians of your riches on earth, multiply the products of our sweat and creativity that we may become the instruments of your glory. Amen.
Day One
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, you were visited by the Magi during your stay in Bethlehem. They offered you expensive gifts which your mother kept and treasured. You were happy when poor shepherds visited you, but you were likewise joyous when these prosperous and intelligent men entered the stable where you were born. Though you loved poverty by being poor yourself, you appreciated the presence of these men who developed the world which you had created. They had much to share because they had produced more. We thank you, dear Child Jesus, for making prosperity a sign of your blessing and presence in our life. We come here today and we wish to lay before you our petitions (mention here the petitions). Bless us as blessed those Magi. Amen.

Day Two
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, the angels came down to serenade you at the night of your birth. They were singing glory to God in heaven and peace among men. Your gift to us is your peace. Look with pity, then on our world so torn by conflicts and wars. There is no peace because many are in want while those who have much are not willing to share. Teach us, O holy Child Jesus, that it is our obligation to be your instrument of peace in our planet, and we can only do so if we are willing to share something from teh sweat of our brow to alleviate the sufferings of the needy. We come here and make a solemn promise that we will share your blessings to others. Amen.

Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Three
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, Herod massacred the children of Bethlehem when his guards did not find you. They were the first martyrs. You do not want that children should suffer more, and you were fond of blessing children. We encounter many abandoned children who beg in the streets for their survival because their parents could not provide for them. We then put in your hands the care of parents that they may always be mindful of the needs of their children, that more parents may become responsible and not have children whom they would just abandon on the streets. On our part, O Holy Child, we promise that if you grant blessings to us, we will do our best to alleviate the sufferings of children in our society. Amen.
Litany
Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Four
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, you fled to Egypt when the angel warned Joseph that Herod wanted to kill you. You became a victim of man’s wickedness and evil. You did not spare yourself of this travail of walking a big distance just to escape with your life. You experienced how it was to be a refugee, a drama repeated in many parts of the world and in our country where violence and war exist. Your flight to Egypt, O Holy Child, makes us aware of the evil of sin that lurks in our hearts. We still have many “Herods” in our person whose specialty is to make others suffer. We empty them from our hearts so that you can make your dwelling place in us, so that the evil present in us may be emptied, so that we may not fall into the temptations of power and violence. We promise to be your most peaceful disciples and to propagate your peace among us. Amen.
Litany
Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Five
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, your mother offered you in the temple of Jerusalem where two old persons – Anna and Simeon – welcomed you. These two people had been waiting there for years, inspired by the Holy Spirit that before they die, they would see the Messiah. We remember also the old people in our midst, especially those who cannot anymore go to churches because of infirmities and poverty. We know that the only happiness of old persons is to be always in contact with you. We promise on our part that if you grant us your blessings and the prosperity that we seek, we will also contribute to the better welfare of the old people in our midst. We will do our share that they, too, may sing you songs like what Anna and Simeon did. Amen.
Litany
Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Six
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, you were lost in the temple for three days. Your worried parents looked for you everywhere only to discover that you were there in the temple, conversing with the learned people of the temple with whom you discussed the Bible. They were amazed at your intelligence. You shone in your discussion because you were able to tell them about your Father and his love for humanity. Teach us, O Holy Child, to share this knowledge to people around us, that our Father in heaven cares for each one of us. Inspire us to use our intelligence for your greater glory and not for seeking vainly our personal glory. Amen.
Litany
Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Eight
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, you grew in wisdom and in age. How many of us grow only in age but never in wisdom because we do not learn from our mistakes and live on remembering always our failures. Teach us, O Holy Child, to remain creative and proactive, inventing new things and strategies, building on our mistakes, sharpening our success, and being leaders in our field of expertise. May our families be the source of our inspiration and joy as we progress materially. May we look forward to achieving our goals because you want us to develop this world and make this a happy place for all. Amen.
Litany
Thanksgiving Prayer
Day Nine
Daily Prayer
O Child Jesus of Prosperity, you left your mother after thirty years of living an anonymous life in Nazareth. You loved to be unknown because of your humility. You loved your humble dwelling place, knowing that the bloodied palaces of Herod could not equal your love-filled home in Nazareth. Teach us, O Holy Child, how to remain humble in our success, to be simple in our lifestyle, to remain anonymous. Make us recognize always that you are the author of our success and without you, we cannot do anything. May we always be conscious that we will leave behind all our material riches and that all the glory of the world passes away. May we always look for your greater glory and the honor of your kingdom, which we can only possess through a humble and contrite heart. Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving to the Child Jesus of Prosperity
Most divine Child Jesus of Prosperity, you knowingly took on our humanity with the cooperation of the most perfect creation and most holy Virgin Mary. You exalted humanity above the nature of angels at the instant of your incarnation.
Even in your childhood you knowing gave us the example of obedience. You who are God, obeyed your divine Father through the law of nature and the authority or your human mother, Mary, and human foster father, Joseph. We know that our real success comes when we obey you.
Even in your childhood, you knowingly gave us the example of family unity in a world created for the same unity of our humanity. We praise you for only through values learned in our homes can we embark on our material pursuits without losing your presence in us.
What incomparable and spontaneous love was shown in your divinity: to all appearances a baby boy wrapped in cloth; in reality, the Savior and supreme King of humanity! We return your love with our adoration, gratitude, and praise. We love, honor, and thank you. Child Jesus, the author of our spiritual, physical, and material well-being, our life, our good health, our glory! Amen.

Saint Michael's Deliverance Prayer Series
Prayer for Deliverance of Addicted Persons
St. Michael, the Archangel
I come to you with a body broken
by addiction to .....................
I have tried all possible solutions
To break this habit,
But though my spirit is willing,
My body is weak.
I realize that I am struggling against
An evil greater than myself.

Of this situation and this addiction.
My family and my loved ones have suffered much because of me.
For their sake,
I want to change my life
And live happily for them.
St. Michael,
You are the first to struggle
Against Satan and his devils.
I feel their power over me,
And I believe that this addiction
Is no longer a human reality,
But a product of
Satan’s manifold presence on earth.
I beseech your presence
In my lonely struggle.
As I wake up each morning,
Enkindle in my heart your faith
And total surrender to God,
And make my will invincible as yours
So that I may continue
With my therapy and treatment
Without relapses,
And so that I may seek strength
From the sacraments,
Especially from the Holy Eucharist.
St. Michael,
Through your intercession,
I know that Jesus will help me.

To guard me in my life.

For the combat against sin.

To your side, and
To your eternal determination
That led to the defeat of Satan

Novena to St. Michael and the Archangels
INTRODUCTION
Devotion to St. Michael the Archangel and the Holy Angels dates back to the Old Testament in the time of the Jewish Synagogue. In the early days, the Eastern and Western Churches have started propagating the devotion to them. In the Eastern Tradition during the fourth century, particularly in Phrygia and Egypt, there were already churches dedicated to St. Michael and the Holy Angels. In the Western Church documents of seventh century it shows that even during the fifth century, the feast of St. Michael and the Holy Angels is being celebrated in the Basilica of the Angels found six miles to the north outside of Rome.
Here in our country, the existing San Miguel Parish Church in San Miguel, Manila has been declared by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines as the National Shrine of st. Michael and the Archangels last January 27, 1985. Only Divine Providence could cause the Seven Archangels to emerge at a time when humanity is vastly imperilled and in desperate need of Heaven’s powerful aid to free mankind from the seven powerful forces of evil. The Archangels and the forces which they do battle against are as follows:
1. St. Michael, First Defender of God’s Dominion and Authority. It is in St. Michael’s powerful aid that we must rely upon to defend ourselves against the assaults of atheism (i.e., denial of the existence of God) as expressed in Marxism and in the materialistic secularism.
2. St. Gabriel, God’s Special Messenger. He renews our hope in the Lord Jesus as the fulfilment of humanity’s search for meaning against nihilism (i.e., rejection of all distinctions in moral value, constituting a willingness to refute all previous theories of morality), depriving life of all essence of its very existence.
3. St. Raphael, Mankind’s Special Guide to Heaven. He constantly guides us in our everyday journey here on earth towards the place of true happiness – which is the home of our Heavenly Father. Humanity is presently afflicted with the greediness of people for power and wealth expressed by monopolistic capitalism (i.e., capital is only at the hands of the few, vested interest) over the powerless.
4. St. Uriel, Archangel of Divine Justice. He reminds us of the last judgement of God, wherein every man will have to account for everything he has done here on earth. He is likewise God-sent to defend those who are suffering from injustices in any form especially racism (i.e., the practice of racial discrimination, persecution, oppression, etc.).
5. St. Sealtiel, Archangel of Adoration. He leads us away from hedonism that spawns prostitution, drug abuse, abortion and murder, and guides us in purifying and transforming purity of mind and heart.
6. St. Jhudiel, Archangel of God’s Merciful Love. He helps us see God’s mercy, love and peace in order to overcome communism (i.e., a theory or system of ownership of all property by the community as a whole). He shows us how to conquer evil with good and to forgive those who have wronged us.
7. St. Barachiel, Provider and Guardian of God’s Children. He speaks of god’s Fatherly love for us in providing for all the needs of our soul and body. He come to show mankind that we, too, should strive hard to earn our daily bread and be not a slave of the fatalistic attitude of fatalism (i.e., the doctrine that all events are predetermined by fate and therefore unaltered by man).
It is for the purpose of fostering devotion to these Seven Archangels “who stand ever ready in the presence of God” (Book of Tobit 12:15) who have under them legions of angels at their command to do battle against the powerful forces of evil that this prayer booklet has been prepared. It is intended to help our people discover the role of St. Michael and the Archangels in our contemporary world, troubled as it is by spiritual, social, political and economic dislocations.
God grant that the pages that follow, by their usage, in private and public devotions in honor of the Archangels, give them due honor. And through their powerful intercession, may they bring individuals, families, communities and entire peoples back to God’s unerring ways of truth, love, freedom and justice which alone can draw Heaven’s peace upon our beloved country /the Philippines/ and lead us to God’s Kingdom in heaven.

Amen.
Novena in Honor of all the Archangels
Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, I praise and thank You, not only because You have created the visible world, but also because You have created the heavens and called the numberless spirits into being. You created them most splendidly, endowing them with proper understanding and pouring out upon them the riches of Your grace. I praise and thank You for having showered your graces upon the good Angels and rewarded them with eternal glory after the time of their successful probation. Now they surround Your throne forever, singing in jubilant accord: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your Glory. Hosanna in the highest!
Glorious servants of God surrounding the throne of the Most High, I praise You for that splendour with which God has adorned you so bountifully. To you, He granted the grace to remain faithful when Lucifer and his followers rebelled. Implore for me also the grace to persevere in His holy service.
Glorious hosts of the heavenly courts, resplendent light of God’s Kingdom, protect the Church and lead her to victory over all her enemies. Angelic ministers of the throne of God, conquer all evil and lead the people of God to victory.
Holy Archangels and all you Angels of the Lord, intercede for us and BE MINDFUL OF OUR NECESSITIES (mention your petition). Make us sharers in your burning zeal and glowing love for God and all His people. Help us to become worthy messengers and true servants of God to proclaim His holy will, and to spread the peace of Christ in his kingdom. Amen.
INTERCESSIONS
The Angels carry out God’s will. Let us pray that we too may listen carefully to His voice and His call, as we say:
* Response: We beg you, hear our prayer.
That the celestial Choir of Seraphim, may make us worthy to burn with the fire of perfect charity. *
That the celestial Choir of Cherubim, may grant us the grace to leave the ways of wickedness and run in the paths of Christian perfection. *
That the celestial Choir of Thrones, may infuse into our hearts a true and sincere spirit of humility. *
That the celestial Choir of Dominions, may give us the grace to govern our senses and subdue our unruly passions. *
That the celestial Choir of Powers, may protect our souls against the snares and temptations of the devil. *
That the celestial Choir of Virtues, may preserve us from evil, and not allow us to fall into temptation. *

He is assigned by God to accompany us along the way of our pilgrimage in search of the treasure of real happiness which God has in store for all His children. He also gives the light to discern correctly God’s ways and protects us from the dangers that befall on us in our way to our heavenly home.

St. Uriel, with the weighing scale in his hand reminds us of divine justice that weighs according to its true worth whatever good we do and whatever wrong doings we commit in relation to God, to our neighbours or to ourselves, both as individuals and as a community of nations. He also reminds us of the terrible judgment of God upon the world for the human pride and godlessness with which human affairs are conducted that now are fast bringing mankind on throes of its own destruction.

Offer our prayers to God in our search for true peace and happiness founded on truth and justice.

We also pray for our less fortunate brothers and sisters and ourselves for the following intentions...
Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Thursday
SAINT SEALTIEL
Archangel of Worship and Contemplation
St. Sealtiel continually stands before God, with incenser in hand in unceasing adoration of the Most Holy Trinity. As the Archangel of contemplation and worship, his angelic purity transforms the love and worship which we mortals give to God. We need St. Sealtiel’s powerful intercession before God’s throne to overcome the evils of hedonism in our day. May the evils of drug addiction, sex exploitation and abortion become things of discredited past. Instead, may endless hymns of praise rise from all peoples as they chant in union with the Heavenly Choirs of Angels, in perpetual thanksgiving of God’s bountiful blessings. He is known to be the angel who stopped Abraham from killing his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen. 22:12).
REFLECTIONS

2. Do I praise and thank God for every blessing in my life?
3. Do I pray with filial trust and confidence in God?
4. Do I make my life my prayer of praise and thanksgiving?
PRAYER
O Pure and Holy Archangel St. Sealtiel, you bow before the Almighty Lord offering angelic salutations of praise and thanksgiving. Guide us in our prayer. Like you, we would like to unceasingly pray and worship God the right way. May our lives be like incense pleasing to God. While awaiting for the inevitable time of separation from this material world, may we praise the Holy Trinity in the spirit of true love and humility throughout the days of our lives in eternity. Obtain for us these favors... and present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Friday
SAINT JHUDIEL
Bearer of God’s Merciful Love
God’s mercy comes to us every moment of our lives. Without it, we would die. With it, God provides us the graces we need for our bodies. Mercy is God’s love helping us fight the temptations of life and obtain forgiveness for our sins. Mercy is grace for bodily and spiritual needs. Mercy is God himself through the merits of Jesus Christ bringing us back to our Heavenly Home.
REFLECTIONS
1. How do I show mercy to others?
2. Do I easily forgive those who have sinned against me?
3. Do I extend my helping hand to thos who are in need most of my help without expecting any reward in return?
4. Do I share God’s blessing to my less fortunate brothers?
PRAYER
Merciful Archangel, St. Jhudiel, dispenser of God’s eternal and abundant mercy. Because of our sinfulness, we do not deserve God’s forgiveness. Yet, he continually grants us forbearance freely and lovingly. Help us in our determination to overcome our sinful habits and be truly sorry for them. Bring each one of us to true conversion of heart. That we may experience the joy of reconciliation which brings, without which neither we, individuals, nor the whole world can know true peace. You who continually intercedes for us, listen to our prayers... Present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Saturday
SAINT BARACHIEL
Guardian and Provider of the Children of God
Through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His passion, death and resurrection, all His disciples are brought to a transforming union with Him. Through His transformation in love, the soul becomes Christ-like. As such, every Christ-like soul become, by adoption, the child of the Father. St. Barachiel is the Archangel who was assigned by God to keep watch over His adopted children, taking care that he and the Choirs of Angels assigned to the task to guard these transformed souls in all their ways, bearing them up in their hands, “lest they dash their feet against the stone on their way to their heavenly home” (Psalm 91:17).
REFLECTIONS
1. Do I realize that to be Christ-like means to follow God’s commandments?
2. How do I grow in the qualities of Christ-called virtues?
3. Do I pray to my guardian angel?
4. Does his presence remind me of God’s protection and care?
PRAYER
O Powerful Archangel, St. Barachiel, filled with heaven’s glory and splendour, you are rightly called God’s benediction. We are God’s children placed under your protection and care. Listen to our supplications... grant that through your loving intercession, we may reach our Heavenly Home one day. Sustain us and protect us from all harm that we may possess for all eternity the peace and happiness that Jesus has prepared for us in heaven. Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Devotion to St. Michael the Archangel and the Holy Angels dates back to the Old Testament in the time of the Jewish Synagogue. In the early days, the Eastern and Western Churches have started propagating the devotion to them. In the Eastern Tradition during the fourth century, particularly in Phrygia and Egypt, there were already churches dedicated to St. Michael and the Holy Angels. In the Western Church documents of seventh century it shows that even during the fifth century, the feast of St. Michael and the Holy Angels is being celebrated in the Basilica of the Angels found six miles to the north outside of Rome.
Here in our country, the existing San Miguel Parish Church in San Miguel, Manila has been declared by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines as the National Shrine of st. Michael and the Archangels last January 27, 1985. Only Divine Providence could cause the Seven Archangels to emerge at a time when humanity is vastly imperilled and in desperate need of Heaven’s powerful aid to free mankind from the seven powerful forces of evil. The Archangels and the forces which they do battle against are as follows:
1. St. Michael, First Defender of God’s Dominion and Authority. It is in St. Michael’s powerful aid that we must rely upon to defend ourselves against the assaults of atheism (i.e., denial of the existence of God) as expressed in Marxism and in the materialistic secularism.
2. St. Gabriel, God’s Special Messenger. He renews our hope in the Lord Jesus as the fulfilment of humanity’s search for meaning against nihilism (i.e., rejection of all distinctions in moral value, constituting a willingness to refute all previous theories of morality), depriving life of all essence of its very existence.
3. St. Raphael, Mankind’s Special Guide to Heaven. He constantly guides us in our everyday journey here on earth towards the place of true happiness – which is the home of our Heavenly Father. Humanity is presently afflicted with the greediness of people for power and wealth expressed by monopolistic capitalism (i.e., capital is only at the hands of the few, vested interest) over the powerless.
4. St. Uriel, Archangel of Divine Justice. He reminds us of the last judgement of God, wherein every man will have to account for everything he has done here on earth. He is likewise God-sent to defend those who are suffering from injustices in any form especially racism (i.e., the practice of racial discrimination, persecution, oppression, etc.).
5. St. Sealtiel, Archangel of Adoration. He leads us away from hedonism that spawns prostitution, drug abuse, abortion and murder, and guides us in purifying and transforming purity of mind and heart.
6. St. Jhudiel, Archangel of God’s Merciful Love. He helps us see God’s mercy, love and peace in order to overcome communism (i.e., a theory or system of ownership of all property by the community as a whole). He shows us how to conquer evil with good and to forgive those who have wronged us.
7. St. Barachiel, Provider and Guardian of God’s Children. He speaks of god’s Fatherly love for us in providing for all the needs of our soul and body. He come to show mankind that we, too, should strive hard to earn our daily bread and be not a slave of the fatalistic attitude of fatalism (i.e., the doctrine that all events are predetermined by fate and therefore unaltered by man).
It is for the purpose of fostering devotion to these Seven Archangels “who stand ever ready in the presence of God” (Book of Tobit 12:15) who have under them legions of angels at their command to do battle against the powerful forces of evil that this prayer booklet has been prepared. It is intended to help our people discover the role of St. Michael and the Archangels in our contemporary world, troubled as it is by spiritual, social, political and economic dislocations.
God grant that the pages that follow, by their usage, in private and public devotions in honor of the Archangels, give them due honor. And through their powerful intercession, may they bring individuals, families, communities and entire peoples back to God’s unerring ways of truth, love, freedom and justice which alone can draw Heaven’s peace upon our beloved country /the Philippines/ and lead us to God’s Kingdom in heaven.

Now they surround Your throne forever, singing in jubilant accord: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your Glory. Hosanna in the highest!
Glorious servants of God surrounding the throne of the Most High, I praise You for that splendour with which God has adorned you so bountifully. To you, He granted the grace to remain faithful when Lucifer and his followers rebelled. Implore for me also the grace to persevere in His holy service.
Glorious hosts of the heavenly courts, resplendent light of God’s Kingdom, protect the Church and lead her to victory over all her enemies. Angelic ministers of the throne of God, conquer all evil and lead the people of God to victory.

St. Michael, please intercede for us together with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and obtain for us the following requests... Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ, our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Monday
SAINT GABRIEL
Special Messenger of God
St. Gabriel is the bearer of God’s secret messages to His chosen ones. He is the Angel who announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary of God’s plan for her to be the Mother of His Son, Jesus. (Luke 1:19) He was also the Angel who foretold Daniel the end of the world. (Dan. 8:19; 9:21)
REFLECTIONS
1. How faithful am I in bringing God’s message of love to the people as St. Gabriel brought faithfully and promptly the message of love incarnate to the Blessed Virgin Mary?
2. How attentive am I in listening to God’s words and voice as He talks to me in my everyday life?
3. Am I following the footsteps of Jesus and ready to carry the cross that He has given me?
4. Do I project God’s love to others by my exemplary life?
PRAYER
St. Gabriel, Holy Archangel, you, who are known as the bearer of God’s secrets meant specially for His chosen ones, we, God’s children are constantly keeping watch on God’s message. Through your powerful intercession, may we receive God’s words and messages so that together with Mary, our Blessed Mother, we may give glory and praise to Him. May we also radiate God’s love to others by our exemplary deeds. O St. Gabriel obtain for us the grace and present to God the Father the following requests... through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Tuesday
SAINT RAPHAEL
Healer and Guide for the Christian Pilgrim
St. Raphael is the Archangel fo the Christian’s journey to heaven. He is assigned by God to accompany us along the way of our pilgrimage in search of the treasure of real happiness which God has in store for all His children. He also gives the light to discern correctly God’s ways and protects us from the dangers that befall on us in our way to our heavenly home. As his name Raphael connotes – “medicine of God,” he is the Angel that brings good health and abundant provisions during our journey (Tob. 8:3; 12:15)
REFLECTIONS
1. Am I aware that my life here on earth is a pilgrimage to heaven?
2. During my journey, do I contemplate the past and prepare myself for tomorrow to meet my God?
3. Do I prefer to gain material riches that that of the upliftment of my soul in anticipation of the divine judgment of God?
4. Do I pray for others who are at present dying or sick aside from myself?
PRAYER
O Great Archangel, St. Raphael, you have been appointed by God to become our healer and guide in our earthly pilgrimage to our home in heaven. I beg you to assist us in all our undertakings and in all the trials and pains of this earthly life. We pray for constant good health both physically, mentally and spiritually. We beseech you to guide always our steps that we shall walk with confidence towards our journey, and enlighten us concerning our doubts generated by intellectual pride and worldly ambitions. St. Raphael, please present to God the following petitions... through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Wednesday
SAINT URIEL
Archangel of Justice
St. Uriel, with the weighing scale in his hand reminds us of divine justice that weighs according to its true worth whatever good we do and whatever wrong doings we commit in relation to God, to our neighbours or to ourselves, both as individuals and as a community of nations. He also reminds us of the terrible judgment of God upon the world for the human pride and godlessness with which human affairs are conducted that now are fast bringing mankind on throes of its own destruction. (Book of Henoch and IV Esd. 4,1)
REFLECTIONS
1. Do I love God above all persons and things?
2. How do I deal with God’s commandment?
3. Do I treat others justly?
4. Do I help those who are victims of injustices?
PRAYER
O illustrious St. Uriel, the Archangel of God’s Divine Justice, as you hold the heavenly scales that weigh our lives on earth, we ask you to intercede for us, that God may forgive us all our sins. Obtain for us the grace of true repentance and conversion of heart that we may be spared of the punishment we deserve. Offer our prayers to God in our search for true peace and happiness founded on truth and justice. We pray for those who are suffering of inhumanities, dying because of injustice and the oppressed due to manipulation and exploitation. We also pray for our less fortunate brothers and sisters and ourselves for the following intentions...
Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Thursday
SAINT SEALTIEL
Archangel of Worship and Contemplation
St. Sealtiel continually stands before God, with incenser in hand in unceasing adoration of the Most Holy Trinity. As the Archangel of contemplation and worship, his angelic purity transforms the love and worship which we mortals give to God. We need St. Sealtiel’s powerful intercession before God’s throne to overcome the evils of hedonism in our day. May the evils of drug addiction, sex exploitation and abortion become things of discredited past. Instead, may endless hymns of praise rise from all peoples as they chant in union with the Heavenly Choirs of Angels, in perpetual thanksgiving of God’s bountiful blessings. He is known to be the angel who stopped Abraham from killing his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen. 22:12).
REFLECTIONS
1. Do I take time to pray and reflect during some moments of the day?
2. Do I praise and thank God for every blessing in my life?
3. Do I pray with filial trust and confidence in God?
4. Do I make my life my prayer of praise and thanksgiving?
PRAYER
O Pure and Holy Archangel St. Sealtiel, you bow before the Almighty Lord offering angelic salutations of praise and thanksgiving. Guide us in our prayer. Like you, we would like to unceasingly pray and worship God the right way. May our lives be like incense pleasing to God. While awaiting for the inevitable time of separation from this material world, may we praise the Holy Trinity in the spirit of true love and humility throughout the days of our lives in eternity. Obtain for us these favors... and present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Friday
SAINT JHUDIEL
Bearer of God’s Merciful Love
God’s mercy comes to us every moment of our lives. Without it, we would die. With it, God provides us the graces we need for our bodies. Mercy is God’s love helping us fight the temptations of life and obtain forgiveness for our sins. Mercy is grace for bodily and spiritual needs. Mercy is God himself through the merits of Jesus Christ bringing us back to our Heavenly Home.
REFLECTIONS
1. How do I show mercy to others?
2. Do I easily forgive those who have sinned against me?
3. Do I extend my helping hand to thos who are in need most of my help without expecting any reward in return?
4. Do I share God’s blessing to my less fortunate brothers?
PRAYER
Merciful Archangel, St. Jhudiel, dispenser of God’s eternal and abundant mercy. Because of our sinfulness, we do not deserve God’s forgiveness. Yet, he continually grants us forbearance freely and lovingly. Help us in our determination to overcome our sinful habits and be truly sorry for them. Bring each one of us to true conversion of heart. That we may experience the joy of reconciliation which brings, without which neither we, individuals, nor the whole world can know true peace. You who continually intercedes for us, listen to our prayers... Present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Every Saturday
SAINT BARACHIEL
Guardian and Provider of the Children of God
Through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His passion, death and resurrection, all His disciples are brought to a transforming union with Him. Through His transformation in love, the soul becomes Christ-like. As such, every Christ-like soul become, by adoption, the child of the Father. St. Barachiel is the Archangel who was assigned by God to keep watch over His adopted children, taking care that he and the Choirs of Angels assigned to the task to guard these transformed souls in all their ways, bearing them up in their hands, “lest they dash their feet against the stone on their way to their heavenly home” (Psalm 91:17).
REFLECTIONS
1. Do I realize that to be Christ-like means to follow God’s commandments?
2. How do I grow in the qualities of Christ-called virtues?
3. Do I pray to my guardian angel?
4. Does his presence remind me of God’s protection and care?
PRAYER
O Powerful Archangel, St. Barachiel, filled with heaven’s glory and splendour, you are rightly called God’s benediction. We are God’s children placed under your protection and care. Listen to our supplications... grant that through your loving intercession, we may reach our Heavenly Home one day. Sustain us and protect us from all harm that we may possess for all eternity the peace and happiness that Jesus has prepared for us in heaven. Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
