Anthem:  We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O ever glorious and blessed Virgin.

   V.  Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

   R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray

Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ thy Son has been made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection; through the same Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
   V.  Pray for us, O holy Joseph.
   R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray

We beseech thee, O Lord, that we may be assisted by the merits of the Spouse of thy most holy Mother; so that what we are unable to obtain of ourselves, may be granted us through His intercession;  Who livest and reignest world without end.  Amen.

Especially at Bedtime:

Here invoke the holy angels, whose protection is, indeed, always so much needed by us, but never so much as during the hours of night. Say with the Church: 

Holy angels, our loving guardians, defend us in the hour of battle, that we may not be lost at the dreadful judgement.

V. God hath given his angels charge of thee.
R. That they may guard thee in all thy ways.

O God, who in thy wonderful providence hast been pleased to appoint thy holy angels for our guardians: mercifully hear our prayer, and grant we may rest secure under their protection, and enjoy their fellowship in heaven for ever. Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
