The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, October (English) 3

1[October 2. Feast of our Holy Guardian Angels.—Double.]
2Introit. Ps. cii. Bless the Lord all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders. Ps. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and let all that is within me praise his holy name. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Deus qui. O God, who, by an unspeakable providence dost vouchsafe to send thy angels to guard us; grant to thy suppliants to be ever defended by their protection, and to rejoice in their eternal society. Through our Lord, &c.
4Lesson. Exodus xxiii. 20—23. Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared. Take no notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned, for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him. But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee: and my angel shall go before thee.
5Gradual. God hath given his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.—In their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Alleluia, alleluia.—Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his who do his will. Alleluia.
6[Gospel, as on May 8th, page 582. Credo.]
7Offertory. Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you ministers of his who execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
8Secret. Receive, O Lord, the offerings we bring, in veneration of thy holy angels; and mercifully grant, that by their perpetual patronage we may be delivered from present dangers, and arrive at life eternal. Through our Lord, &c.
9Communion. All ye angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: sing a hymn, and exalt him above all for ever.
10Postcom. Sumpsimus. We have received divine mysteries, O Lord, rejoicing on the festival of thy holy angels: we beseech thee, that by their protection we may be ever freed from the snares of enemies, and defended against all adversity. Through our Lord, &c.
