A Prayer with the Angels

When you need heaven to join you.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

Matthew 18 · 20

✦ The Prayer ✦

Holy angels of God, you who stand before His throne in ceaseless prayer — tonight I ask you to carry my burden with me. For the person I love who is far from home. For the concern I do not know how to word. For the hope I am afraid to speak aloud. Bring my prayer to the Father, purified by your reverence, strengthened by your presence, and let it not return empty. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Why this prayer, today.

Catholic tradition teaches that we are never truly alone in prayer. From the smallest chapel to the quietest bedroom at midnight, angels stand ready to lift what we cannot lift on our own.

This is not superstition. It is the ancient conviction that heaven is closer than we think, and that the prayers we whisper into the dark are joined — always — by voices we cannot hear.

When your own words fail, let the angels pray for you.

✦ Place your intention ✦

Have your prayer
placed at the Grotto.

Volunteers walk to the sacred site of Our Lady of Lourdes every week. Your intention can travel with them — placed where Mary once stood.
