Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, pray to God for me.

will be tried by fire.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

O compassionate Jesus, and the robber, O my Jesus, through all my shameful and
unseemly deeds, O Jesus; but do Thou forestall me, O my Jesus, and save me.
O sweetest Jesus, save us.

O sweetest Jesus, save us.
