Feast of Our Lady, Queen of Angels

Our Lady, Queen of Angels, ora pro nobis
August 2nd is the Feast of Our Lady, Queen of Angels (Maria SS Regina Degli Angeli), patroness of Sacco (Salerno), Mineo (Catania), and Cassano delle Murge (Bari). In celebration, I’m posting a prayer to Our Lady, Queen of Angels. The accompanying photo was taken at the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn before the 2017 renovation. Evviva Maria!

Our Lady, Queen of Angels

August Queen of Heaven, sovereign Mistress of Angels, you who at the beginning received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we beseech you humbly, send your holy legions so that, on your orders and by your power, they will track down demons, fight them everywhere, curb their audacity and plunge them into the abyss. Oh good and tender Mother, you will always be our love and our hope. Oh divine Mother, send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me and to keep the cruel enemy far from me. Holy Angels and Archangels defend us, protect us. Amen
