The Guardian Angels
Pope Pius XII urged American Catholics who were on a
pilgrimage to
Rome to “foster a familiar acquaintance with the angels.”
He told them to
get to know the angels “who are so constant in their
solicitude for your
salvation and holiness.” The month of October “checks the
vision [of the
distractions of the world] for a moment, reminding one’s
inner spirit that
there is another world, a world invisible yet as real as
the one you see and
quite as close to you.” Pope Pius XII spoke of the world
of the angels as
“an invisible world that is all around you.” (The Tidings,
Oct. 10, 1958.)
Pope St. Leo the Great said, “Make friends with the holy
angels.” St. John
Bosco told his new students, “You each have a Guardian
Angel. God gave
him to you when you were born. This angel will never leave
you during
life. He will take you home to God when your life ends.
Your angel is
your friend and protector. He tells you what is right and
what is wrong.
Listen carefully for he speaks sofily within your heart.”
(Catherine Beebe, St. John Bosco and the Children ‘s
Saint, Dominic SavIo, p. 140.)
The angels are appointed by God and given the authority to
act as the
protectors of men, and are, in this capacity, known as
Guardian Angels.
Our Lord revealed the existence of Guardian Angels when He
said, in
reference to little children, that “their angels in heaven
always behold the
face of my father in heaven.” (Matt. 18:10)
Every individual has a Guardian Angel. The Catechism of
the Council of
Trent teaches that, “By God’s Providence. angels have been
entrusted with
the office of guarding... and of accompanying every human
being.” Our
Guardian Angel watches over us, prays for us, and
communicates to our
mind enlightenment and inspiration, by means of our
imagination. He
never leaves us, from the moment of our birth until our
death. This does
not mean. that he is deprived, in the meanwhile, of the
joys of Heaven, for
he constantly enjoys the Beatific Vision.
The angels protect both our spiritual and our corporal
life. They defend
and protect our immortal soul from the seduction of the
world and the
temptations of Satan.
They often shield us from sudden dangers that
threaten otir life, or come to our rescue when some harm
has befallen us.
This is frequently seen in the case of little children who
quite often come
out of serious accidents without any injury.
Because the mind of very little children cannot be reached
by reason of
warnings, the Guardian Angel must take direct action in
case of danger.
Adult persons, in the full use of reason, are warned and
cautioned by their
angel; however, because they have the freedom to heed or
to ignore such
warnings of the angel, many unfortunate things happen to
them in spite of
their heavenly protector.
The most important of all the duties of a Guardian Angel
is that of
positively helping us in the tremendous work of saving our
immortal
soul.
They accomplish this by exciting in our hearts good and
beneficial thoughts and desires or, at times, the proper
fear of God’s
judgments. They become intermediaries between God and man,
as
they lay our needs and our fears before Him, offering God
our desires
and our prayers and, in return, they bring us His grace
and His gifts.
St. Bernard has written, “Our Guardian Angels pray for and
with us,
and offer our prayers, our suffering and our good desires
to the throne
of God.” (St. Bernard,In Cant.,Sermo XXII,5; XXXI,5.)
“The entire book of Tobias gives us
not only an example of patience and charity in the holy
man Tobias,
but also reveals to us the wonderful and loving ministry
of our
Guardian Angels.” (Rev Pascal Parente,Beyond Space, p.
126.)
“Indirectly, the angels help us by keeping the devil away
or at least,
restraining him from causing all the harm and spiritual
ruin which he so
persistently tries to bring upon us, not excluding
physical violence and
even death. Thus, the angels eliminate many occasions of
sin, reduce the
number of temptations, and break the force of the devil
and demons.”
(Parente, 127.)
At the hour of death, our Guardian Angel protects and
defends
the soul against the attacks and temptations of the
demons.
There are many stories that show the assistance of angels
in the lives of the
saints: St. Joseph received divine commands from angels.
St. Peter was
delivered from captivity by an angel. St. Mary Magdalen
learned of the
Resurrection of Jesus from angels.
St. Francis of Assisi conversed with and received
innumerable favors from
his guardian angel. He received the stigmata from a
seraph. Ss. Raymond
and Stanislaus received Holy Communion by the ministry of
angels. In his
journeys, St. Camillus of Lellis was protected by angels.
St. Rose of Lima
and St. Frances of Rome enjoyed familiarity with their
guardian angels.
“The angels formed the bodyguard for King Wenceslaus.
They once appeared with threatening swords, crying out to
his enemy, ‘Strike not!
The angels visibly protected him in battle.
“St. Agnes is a virgin who was martyred and died for her
faith at the age of
13. She refused to adore the false gods of pagan Rome and
to marry a
pagan Roman. The wicked judge ordered her to be taken to a
house of sin.
An angel protected St. Agnes and appeared visible to
everyone there.
Thus, no one dared to touch her. However, a bold and
shameless young
man attempted to harm her and was immediately stuck
blind.”
‘St. Isidore was a poor farm laborer, who never missed
hearing Holy Mass
every morning. Once when he was assisting at Mass,
Almighty God, in
order to show him how pleased He was with his devotion,
caused his field
to be plowed for him by the angels.” The angels assisted
St. Isidore in his
work and provided him with more time for prayer.
St. Thomas Aquinas received the gift of chastity through
the agency of an
angel.
“As a brilliant, young student, he was
determined to follow his
vocation to the religious life in the Dominican Order.
Because of this, he
suffered cruel and consistent opposition from his family
who were
vehemently against it, and who had other plans for him.
His family sent an
attractive young woman into his chamber in order to lead
him into sin.
With a flaming hot firebrand he banished her from his
room.”
“After this, he was visited by two angels who girded him
with a white cord
which freed him from any future temptations of the flesh.
It was only after
many years when death was near, that St. Thomas revealed
this secret to
his confessor, humbly admitting that from the time of
receiving that grace
from Heaven, he had never again been bothered with
temptations of the
flesh.”(In the Sight of the Angels, pp. 57-58)
“St. Margaret of Cortona was, by the grace of God,
converted from being a
great sinner into a fervent penitent. One day, as she was
earnestly praying
for the conversion of sinners, our Savior revealed to her
that His Heart
desired nothing so much as the conversion of sinners and
that He was
always ready to forgive. He said, ‘I even send My angels
to assist them
and urge them by repeated inspiration to abandon their
ways of sin.’
Margaret then asked Our Lord whether these pure spirits
remained
constantly at the side of defiled sinners. Jesus answered,
‘Even if they do
not always make their presence felt, yet they speak to
their hearts from
time to time, to bring them to a return. Only at the
judgment seat of God
will the angels entirely abandon the sinners who did not
repent.”
“St. Margaret, reflecting on her former resistance to the
admonitions of her
angel wept bitterly. But Our Lord consoled her, saying
that her former
ingratitude was now forgotten and that her angel would
lead her on the
way of salvation, solving her doubts, defending her in all
her temptations
and strengthening her in afflictions.” (Our Heavenly
Companions.)
St. John Bosco wrote more than one hundred books and
pamphlets in
defense of Catholic doctrine and in order to counteract
Protestant
propaganda. He also taught and helped form the character
of many young
men in his Oratory in northern Italy. As a result, St.
John Bosco had many
enemies who made numerous attempts to kill him.Divine
Providence provided
him with the protection of a special
angel who took the form of a huge watchdog.
St. John Bosco named his protector,
Grigio, the grey one,due to his grey coat.
“He was a singular type of creature, an unknown dog,
unlovely but not
without strength, which refused to have a kennel or dog’s
food; which lay
down where nobody knew; with a dog collar bearing nobody’s
name;
strong on his feet and sharp in the jaw; ready to attack
any villain lurking
in ambush with a knife stuck in his pocket; but was as
gentle as a little
child with the boys of the Oratory and while looking at
Don Bosco with
affectionate eyes.”
‘On one occasion, two cutthroats hired by the Waldensian
heretics tried to
assault Don Bosco in a dark street near the Consolata
church. In front of
him were walking two men who were evidently regulating
their pace by
his. ‘This looks bad,’ thought Don Bosco. He turned back
to go into the
town and find protection.”
“On seeing this, the two men threw a sack over his head.
By struggling
hard, he managed to get out of the sack hood, but then the
strongest of the
two men gagged him so that he could not cry for help. He
would have
been completely at their mercy had not a roar of barking
broke forth close
at hand: it was Grigio. In an instant he had delivered his
master, who now
was set free.”
The priest saw one of his aggressors rushing away as
quickly as possible,
while the other was fastened to the ground, with the
animal’s teeth at his
throat. ‘Call off your dog,’ howled the man. ‘I Will do so
if you promise
to leave me alone.’
‘Anything you like,’ said the ruffian who could do
nothing else. Then Don Bosco spoke to the good dog which
loosened its
jaws, and the fellow ran off as fast as he could.”
“In another case, the wonderful dog held up a whole party
of gangsters.
This happened when Don Bosco was running down a last, but
deserted,
avenue from the market place to his home. Suddenly, out of
a dark corner
someone rushed upon him with a club in his hand.
At that time, Don
Bosco was still a quick-footed runner but the scoundrel
was still faster and
swiffly caught up with the priest, grabbing him.”
“At that moment, Don Bosco punched the man with such a
heavy blow
from his fist, that the man fell to the ground moaning
with pain. At this
cry, some armed men came out of the neighboring bushes,
ready to assault
and kill Don Bosco. In mortal danger, with only a few
seconds left before
he would be killed, he heard the fierce barking of Grigio
which filled the
air. Instantly the ferocious dog was on the spot, turning
back and forth in
all directions around Don Bosco, growling deeply while
displaying his
vicious teeth. One after another the ruffians fled into
the adjoining country."
“It was indeed, a strange animal and its action varied
according to the
circumstances. One evening, instead of offering to go with
Don Bosco,
Grigio prevented him from leaving the house. The dog
stretched across
the threshold of the doorway, and nothing could make it
budge. For the
first time, the dog growled at his master. Mother Margaret
who, for over
half-an-hour had been opposing Don Bosco’s going out that
night said, ‘If
you won’t listen to me, just listen to the dog: it is more
sensible than you
are.’
“Don Bosco finally listened to Grigio and stayed inside.
It was good that
he did so because within 15 minutes a neighbor ran in to
beg Don Bosco
not to go out that evening because he had overheard a
conversation which
clearly showed that an attack on him was being prepared.”
(A. Auffray, St.John Bosco, pp. 145-147)
Let us never forget the presence of our guardian angel.
One way to
deepen our devotion to the angels is to read pre-Vatican
II books and
pamphlets that have been written about them. Two of the
best are: All
About The Angels by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan, O.P., and The
Guardian Angels,
Our Heavenly Companions, a Benedictine Booklet.
We should be grateful to our Guardian Angel for his
constant and loving
protection. We should thank him often for his lifelong
service frequently
pray to him for guidance and help. Above all, we should
remember that he
is ever at our side, a witness to all our actions. This
thought, if deeply
impressed upon our soul, will help us to never do anything
that we would
be ashamed to have him see.
Confession Part 2
Sin or disobedience to God’s laws, is the greatest evil.
It is an infinite offense against God and brings upon
people terrible consequences and severe punishment. If a
person in the state of mortal sin does not repent before
death, he will suffer forever in Hell.
Since God’s mercy is infinite, He offers sinners the grace
to repent and have their sins forgiven in the sacrament of
Penance or Confession. “The priest, as God’s
representative, can forgive sins because God has given him
the power to do so.” (Fr. O’Connell, Baltimore Catechism
no. 3, p. 221.) When we go to confession, in addition to
the forgiveness of our sins, we have the opportunity to
receive spiritual advice and instruction from the priest.
If, without our fault, we forget to confess a mortal sin,
we may receive Holy Communion, because we have made a good
confession and the sin is forgiven, but we must tell the
sin in confession if it again comes to our mind.
“What happens if we knowingly conceal a mortal sin in
confession? If we knowingly conceal a mortal sin in
confession, the sins we confess are not forgiven.”
(O’Connell, p. 236.) In addition, we commit a mortal sin
of sacrilege. If we have done so, we must confess that we
have made a bad confession, tell the sin we have
concealed, mention the sacraments we have received since
that time, and confess all the other mortal sins we have
committed since our last good confession.
The following example will clarify this. Let us suppose
that John Doe has four mortal sins on his soul, so he goes
to confession. He confesses three of his mortal sins, but
because he is so embarrassed by one of them, he knowingly
and willingly does not confess that mortal sin. John has
made a bad confession. Thus, he leaves the confessional
with no sins forgiven and an addition mortal sin of
sacrilege.
No matter how many times John goes to confession after
this, no sin will ever be forgiven until he tells the one
he deliberately left out. As long as he goes to
confession without telling this sin, all his confessions
will be bad. If John goes to Holy Communion in this
state, he seriously offends God by receiving Our Lord in
the state of mortal sin.
A sense of fear and shame of telling our sins to the
priest should never lead us to conceal a mortal sin in
confession. Remember that a priest is bound to never
reveal anything that has been confessed to him, even at
the cost of his life. This is called the Seal of
Confession.
St. John Nepomucene, a priest from Prague, was tortured
and killed rather than reveal anything from a person’s
confession. In 1381, he was the confessor to the wife of
King Wenceslas of Bohemia. Wanting to know what his wife
had confessed, the wicked king asked St. John Nepomucene
what his wife had said in the confessional. “I can’t tell
you, Your Majesty!” was the saint’s quick reply. The
enraged king threatened terrible things to the priest if
he did not tell him. The saint said nothing.
The evil king then had the heroic priest thrown into a
dungeon and ordered that he be horribly tortured. It was
all in vain, for the saint continued to say nothing. The
wicked king then ordered that the hands and feet of the
saint be tied and that he be drowned in the river. This
heroic priest refused to break the Seal of Confession. He
died as a martyr rather than reveal the sins he had heard.
After we have confessed our sins, the priest gives us a
penance to make atonement to God for them and to receive
help to avoid them in the future. We should recite our
penance as soon as possible after Confession so that we do
not forget it. When reciting the prayers given to us as a
penance, we must move our lips, but can recite them very
softly. It is permissible to recite our penance during
Mass. If we went to Confession before Mass and have not
completed our penance, we can still go to Holy Communion.
The purpose of the penance given can be explained in the
following way. After a surgeon has finished an operation,
the pain and effects of the wound still remain and care
must still be taken for a complete cure. So too, after
the priest’s absolution has forgiven our sins, the wounds
still remain and need healing.
The penance given helps us to satisfy for our sins and the
temporal punishment we deserve for them. It also enables
us to amend our life and persevere in God’s grace. God
requires temporal punishment for sin to satisfy His
justice, to teach us the great evil of sin and to warn not
to sin again. We must pay our debt of punishment for our
sins either in this life or in Purgatory or Hell.
Since our life is filled with so much suffering, our goal
should be to avoid Purgatory altogether so that we can go
directly to Heaven after death. The chief means that we
have to satisfy our debt of punishment due to our sins in
this life are: prayer, the sacraments, the devout
assistance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, indulgenced
prayers, fasting, almsgiving, the corporal and spiritual
works of mercy, the patient endurance of suffering and the
acceptance of all things as the will of God. There are
also certain other factors that can reduce our temporal
punishment for our sins which are: the degree of our
sorrow for our sins, our personal disposition and
cooperation with grace, and the firmness and strength of
our resolution to avoid sin.
Since God’s mercy is infinite, He offers sinners the grace
to repent, at times even at the hour of death, by means of
perfect contrition. Perfect contrition exists when a
person is sincerely sorry for his sins because he deeply
loves God above all things Whom he has offended. Perfect
contrition must include the resolution of going to
confession. This is natural for repudiation of sin means
seeking pardon on God’s conditions and Confession is one
of the conditions.
When one commits a mortal sin, he should immediately try
to make an act of perfect contrition with deep sorrow for
offending God, Who is all good and deserving of all our
love. Further, he must not go to Holy Communion until he
has gone to Confession. Perfect contrition takes away all
one’s sins. Holy Scripture shows an act of perfect
contrition in the person of the Good Thief, to whom Our
Lord replied, “This day thou shalt be with Me in
Paradise.”
The following example will help to understand the
difference between perfect and imperfect contrition. With
the savings he had scraped over the years, a woodsman
purchased three little lambs. These little animals meant
much to him. One day he told his three sons to take them
to pasture, appointing a particular lamb to each boy for
which he was responsible.
If they did a good job, the father promised them some
money. After a short period of time, the boys became
bored and went off to play games. While they were gone, a
pair of hungry wolves killed the lambs and ate them.
On their return, the boys saw what had happened. The
first boy, knowing that their father would be very angry,
feared the punishment that would follow. The second boy
said, “We well deserve it, but what bothers me the most is
that we will not get paid like he said.” The third son’s
heart was deeply grieved for his father’s sake and said,
“Our punishment and our loss, we deserve! But our poor
father who is so good to us, how he will be distressed!”
Of the three, only one boy had perfect contrition. Which
one was he? The third boy had perfect contrition. The
other two displayed imperfect contrition. Thus contrition
can be perfect or imperfect according to the motive of our
sorrow.
If we are sorry because we have offended God and because
sin has caused Our Lord to suffer and die for them, we
have perfect contrition. If, however, we are sorry for
our sins simply because they have made us guilty and
deserving of dreadful punishment, our contrition is
imperfect. God in His mercy and love, however, accepts
both kinds of contrition.
One notable point to remember when going to confession is
the softness or loudness of your voice when in the
confessional. Remember, there are people who sit in the
very last pews, so please keep your voice down or whisper
when you confess your sins. Do not confess your sins in a
normal or loud tone of voice. On the other hand, do not
whisper so softly that the priest can’t hear you.
Find a happy medium where the priest can hear your
confession and no one else. I suggest that you speak in
the type of whisper you would use in a library. You don’t
want the entire library to hear you, but you do want only
the person to whom you are whispering to hear you. If you
wear a hearing aid or have a hearing problem let me
know.
In conclusion, in the gospel we read the story of the ten
lepers whose bodies were horribly disfigured and who came
to Christ, begging to be cured. With love and compassion,
Our Lord told them “Go and show yourselves to the
priests.” They quickly departed, trusting in His divine
power.
On their way, they found that they were completely cured.
Nine of them rushed home. Only one returned to Christ to
show his gratitude for the healing. This pleased Jesus,
but He was still hurt by the ingratitude of the others.
Our Lord lamented, “Were not ten made clean? But where
are the nine?
Sadly, this is often the case with many who go to
confession. The condition of a soul in sin is more
terrible and horrendous than the body of a leper. If we
were to be able to see a soul in the state of mortal sin,
we would die from horror. Every time we make a good
confession, our soul is cured and cleansed from sin.
After such a cure and release from such a terrible state,
we should say our penance and thank God for His infinite
love and mercy. We must never have the attitude, “It
doesn’t matter if I sin again. I can always go to
confession.” We might not have that chance because
tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. We must never
presume on the mercy of God, because He will not be
mocked.

Queen of
Angels Catholic Church in Santa Clarita,
California, is much like any Catholic church you
might have attended before the Second Vatican
Council occurred in the 1960's. This Council,
supposedly intended to bring about a genuine
spiritual renewal in the living of our Faith,
inaugurated liturgical changes that broke
drastically from the Church's sacred liturgy and
traditions of nearly 2,000 years. It
is because of these changes and the resultant
universal loss of faith among so many bishops,
priests, nuns and laity, that Queen of Angels
and chapels like this one are drawing more and
more interest from concerned Catholics all over
the world.
The pastor of Queen of Angels is Father Dominic
Radecki, CMRI, a priest belonging to the religious
Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen . The bishop
and priests of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate
Queen (CMRI) offer only the Tridentine Latin Mass
in all the churches and chapels they serve.
Remaining faithful to all of the Church's
venerable teachings and traditions, Queen
of Angels Church reflects the stability and
endurance of truths and doctrines that will
never change with the times.
The faithful receive Holy Communion on their
tongues as they kneel at the communion rail in
humble adoration of the Real Presence of God.
Ladies wear head coverings and modest clothing out
of respect. The reverent silence in the House of
God indicates a living faith in Christ Who dwells
in the tabernacle.
We have a full schedule of activities at our
church. The Sacraments are administered exactly
the way they were before Vatican II: Baptism,
Confirmation, Penance, the Holy Eucharist,
Matrimony and Extreme Unction. Parish
organizations who attend Queen of Angels, ranging
from basic catechism instruction for the youth and
converts to the Faith, to our Confraternity of
Christian Mothers. For those who wish to lead a
more dedicated spiritual life, we have the
Confraternity of Mary Immaculate Queen. We invite
you to check out all of our parish activities on
this website.
We at Queen of Angels welcome visitors to our
parish at anytime of the year, but especially at
Christmas and Easter. Although the number of
parishioners has outgrown our small church,
newcomers are always welcome.
Each of our parishioners adds something unique to
the family atmosphere we think is very special
here at our church. Come and see it for yourself!
If you have not been to a Latin Mass in many
years, if you have never been to one at all, you
will be pleasantly surprised at what you find at
Queen of Angels. You will feel as if you have come
home, as indeed you have.

Prayer to the August Queen of Heaven
August Queen of Heaven, Sovereign
Mistress of the Angels, who didst receive from the
beginning the mission and the power to crush the
serpent's head, we beseech thee to send thy holy
angels, that under thy command and by thy power
they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them
on every side, resist their bold attacks, and
drive them hence into the abyss of woe.
Most holy Mother, send thy angels to defend us and
to drive the cruel enemy from us.
All ye holy Angels and Archangels, keep and defend
us. Amen
O good and tender Mother Thou shalt ever be our
love and our hope.
Holy Angels and Archangels, keep and defend us.
Amen
Novena of Confidence
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
(for family relations that have fallen away)
O Lord Jesus Christ, to Thy Most
Sacred Heart I confide this intention (silently
mention here the names you are praying for). Only
look upon me, then do what Thy Heart inspires. Let
Thy Sacred Heart decide. I count on it. I trust in
it. I throw myself on its mercy, Lord Jesus! Thou
wilt not fail me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Thy love for
me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy
Kingdom come!
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked Thee for
many favors, but I earnestly implore this one.
Take it, place it in Thy open, broken Heart, and
when the Eternal Father looks upon it, covered
with Thy Precious Blood, He will not refuse it.s
It will no longer be my prayer but Thine, O Sacred
Heart of Jesus. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place
my trust in Thee. Let me never be confounded.
Amen.

The following true story explains this well.
The university professor challenged his students
with this question. “Did God create everything
that exists?”
A student bravely replied, “Yes, he did!” “God
created everything?” the professor asked. “Yes,”
the student replied. The professor answered, “If
God created everything, then God created evil
since evil exists, and according to the principle
that our works define who we are, then God is
evil.”
The student became quiet before such an answer.
The professor was quite pleased with himself and
boasted to the students that he had proven once
more that the Christian faith was a myth. At that
point, another student raised his hand and said,
“Can I ask you a question professor?” “Of
course,” replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, “Professor does
cold exist?” “What kind of question is this? Of
course it exists. Have you never been cold?”
The students snickered at the young man’s
question. The young man replied, “In fact sir,
cold does not exist. According to the laws of
physics, what we consider cold is in reality the
absence of heat. Absolute zero (-460 degrees F)
is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes
inert and incapable of reaction at that
temperature. Cold does not exist. We have
created this word to describe “the absence of
heat.”
The student continued. “Professor, does darkness
exist?” The professor responded, “Of course it
does.”
The student replied, “Once again you are wrong
sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is
in reality the absence of light. You cannot
measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break
into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How
can you know how dark a certain space is? You
measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this
correct? Darkness is a term used by man to
describe what happens when there is no light
present.”
Finally the young man asked the professor. “Sir,
does evil exist?” Now uncertain, the professor
responded, “Of course! We see it every day.
It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to
man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence
everywhere in the world. These manifestations are
nothing else but evil.”
To this, the student replied, “Evil does not exist
sir, or at least it does not exist in itself.
Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just
like darkness and cold, a word that man has
created to describe the absence of God. God did
not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love
that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is
the result of what happens when man does not have
God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the
cold that comes when there is no heat or the
darkness that comes when there is no light.” The
professor sat down.
The young man’s name – Albert Einstein.

The time may be delayed, the

Not a tear of sacred sorrow, not a breath of holy

may seek with greater confidence after things
eternal.
Be appeased, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by the gifts
which we offer, and garnt us in season the
blessing of sufficient rain.
Grant us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, beneficial rain
and deign to pour out showers from Heaven upon the
parched face of the earth. Through Our Lord Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee
in the unity of the Holy Ghost. God, world without
end. Amen
