St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en el combate contra las maldades e insidias del demonio.

Se nuestra ayuda, te rogamos suplicantes.

¡Que el Señor nos lo conceda!

Y tú, príncipe de las milicias celestiales, con el poder que te viene de Dios arroja en el infierno a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que ambulan por el mundo para la perdición de las almas.

Amen.

Dios te salve, Reina

y Madre de misericordia,

vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra;

Dios te salve.

A ti llamamos

los desterrados hijos de Eva;

a ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando

en este valle de lágrimas.

Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra,

vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos;

y después de este destierro,

muéstranos a Jesús,

fruto bendito de tú vientre.

¡Oh, clementísima, oh piadosa,

oh dulce Virgen María!

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Comunión Espiritual

Creo, Jesús mío, que estás realmente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Pero como ahora no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente. ven a lo menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya te hubiese recibido, te abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti.

Amén.
