TRANSCRIPT
August Queen of Angels
n the 13th of of January, 1863, a soul acustomed to
receiving favors from the Virgin mary was suddenly
struck by a ray of divine light. She believed that she saw
demons, throwing themselves
upon the earth, causing ruins
and incredible massacres. At
the same time, the Holy
Virgin appeared, saying that
demons had indeed broken
loose in the world and the
time had come to invoke her
as Queen of Angels and to
ask her to send legions of
angels to combat and
annihilate the powers of hell.
The soul addressed the Virgin
with the following words: "O
my Mother you who are so
good, could you not send
your angels without us
having to ask you?" "No," the
Virgin replied, "prayer is a condition established by God himself
to obtain graces." "Then, Mother," said the soul, "would you like
to teach us how we should pray to you?" And the Most Holy
Virgin dictated this prayer to her: "O august Queen..."
O August Queen and our Lady of Angels, who received from God the power and mission of crushing the head of Satan, we humbly beg you to send us heavenly legions, with Saint Michael the Archangel as head so that under your orders they may chase the demons, combat them everywhere, repress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss. "Who is like God?" O good and tender Mother, you shall always be our love and our hope. O divine Mother, send your holy angels to defend us, and to drive away from us the cruel enemy. Holy angels and archangels, defend us and guard us. Amen.
O
