O most happy archangels! captains of the celestial armies, obtain for me the light of the Holy Spirit, instruct me in the divine mysteries, and strengthen me against the common enemy. Gloria.

O sublime principalities, directors, and governors of the world, so rule over my soul, that the inordinate pride of my senses may be brought into subjection to reason. Gloria.
-
O invincible powers! restrain the malignant spirit when he assails me, and keep him far from me when he would endeavour to separate me from God. Gloria.

O powerful virtues! illuminate and fortify my soul, that, replenished by your courage, it may advance in every holy virtue, and resist all the attacks of the infernal enemy. Gloria.
-
O blessed dominations! obtain for me an entire dominion over myself, and a holy liberty in resisting everything that does not proceed from God. Gloria.
-
O solid and everlasting thrones! instruct my soul in true humility, that it may become the abode of that Lord who graciously deigns to dwell with the humble spirit. Gloria.

O most wise cherubim wholly rapt in divine contemplation! make me to comprehend fully my own vileness and the perfection of my Sovereign Lord. Gloria.

O most burning seraphim! kindle in my heart your holy flames, that I may love and sigh for that infinite beauty by which you are unceasingly enamoured. Gloria.
