To the Nine Choirs of Angels by Anne Ellison
O Holy Angels, watch over us carefully on our journey in the Life of the Divine Will!
O Holy Archangels, be our guides as we strive to live this most august Real Life of God on earth as It is lived in Heaven!
O heavenly choir of the Principalities, govern us in all our actions, that they all be animated by the Divine Will!
O mighty Powers, preserve us from any act of our poor human wills!
O celestial Virtues, give us strength and courage in the battle with our human wills!
O powerful Dominions, obtain for us dominion over our rebellious human nature and pride.
O sacred Thrones, grant us peace with God and man so that there is no action that will not be accomplished in the Divine Will!
O brilliant Cherubim, illuminate our minds with more heavenly knowledge of the Divine Will!
O burning Seraphim, enkindle our hearts with the fire of love for this most generous gift of living in God’s most Holy Will!
