Our relationships with our angels are often neglected. By praying this novena together, may we strengthen our relationship and connection to our Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, but also with our very own Guardian Angel.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”
Pray for me, St. Michael the Archangel, and also for those I love. Protect us in all dangers of body and soul. Help us in our daily needs. Through your powerful intercession, may we live a holy life, die a happy death, and reach heaven where we may praise and love God with you forever. Amen.
Pray for me, St. Gabriel the Archangel. I ask for the grace of a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life. Steady my resolutions, renew my courage, comfort, and console me in the problems, trials, and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in His agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials. Amen.
Pray for me, St. Raphael the Archangel. I ask you to help me in my struggle against the world, the spirit of impurity, and the devil. Defend me from all dangers and every occasion of sin. Direct me always in the way of peace, safety, and salvation. Help me to love and serve my God faithfully, to die in His grace, and finally to merit to join you in seeing and praising God forever in heaven. Amen.
Loving God, you are so good that you gave me a Guardian Angel to protect my body and my soul. Help me to know and follow my angel so that, with their guidance, I will be worthy of being in Heaven with You! My sweet Guardian Angel, you are my counselor every day of my life. Inspire me to be holy and good like you. Inspire me to be the person that God is calling me to be. Inspire me to be a light for others to know and love the Lord. Amen.
Guardian Angel, you are with me all the time so you already know these my intentions that I ask you to deliver to the Lord.
Professor Kreeft, do we each have a guardian angel? Are our guardian angels aware of us right now?
Yes. There are twice as many persons as we can see in every place, every kitchen or classroom, every hospital or nursery. Only half are human persons. There’s an angel standing next to each bag lady. Think of that next time you pass one by.

Professor Kreeft, can angels make us good?
No. Only our free choices can make us good. No one, not even God, can make us good against our will. That would make free will unfree. But angels can help, just as human friends can. They can be God’s instruments. But we must use, or play, the instrument—just as we must accept and use human help. Angels will occasionally perform miracles on matter, because matter is passive and unfree. But to force human wills miraculously would be to pervert the fundamental nature of the will as active and free. Kreeft, Peter J.. Angels and Demons: What Do We Really Know about Them? (p. 93- 94).
