It's 10:00 am here on the west coast so nine housrs would pray Sarah through the debate on the east coast, I believe. Say any prayer you wish -- perhaps even a prayer for her Guardian Angel to guard and guide her since it is the Memorial of the Guardian Angels.
I know some of you don't like your prayers associated with politics, and that's OK. Just let me know so that I won't ping you next time.
(An option would be that you can pray for Sarah as a person and leave the politics out of it.)
PS. I was asked to do this by a couple of FReepers, so am complying at their urging.
Keep reading! There are lots of ideas.
I’ve gotten so accustomed to praying it after Mass that it feels strange if I don’t. So I stick to our parish and all’s good!
Yes, thank you.
Is this thread only on the Religion board?
Novena Prayer to One's Guardian Angel [A novena is made by saying a prayer for nine days in succession.] (Or in this case -- nine hours in succession -- my editing.)
O HOLY ANGEL, whom God, by the effect of His goodness and His tender regard for my welfare, has charged with the care of my conduct, and who assists me in all my wants and comforts me in all my afflictions, who supports me when I am discouraged and continually obtains for me new favors, I return thee profound thanks, and I earnestly beseech thee, O most amiable protector, to continue thy charitable care and defense of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies. Keep me away from all occasions of sin. Obtain for me the grace of listening attentively to thy holy inspirations and of faithfully putting them into practice. In particular, I implore thee to obtain for me the favor which I ask for by this novena. [May Sarah receive strength and wisdom to gloriously serve the Lord this evening and may she overcome the forces of evil that endeavor to defeat her] Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death, and do not leave me until thou hast conducted me into the presence of my Creator in the mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen.
[Third Salutation]
By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Thrones may the Lord infuse into our hearts a true and sincere spirit of humility. Amen.Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Thanks for the thread. I think it’s a wonderful thing for us to do.
I’m praying for Sarah as always, and today in particular.
Joining you all in prayer for Sarah.
May God guide her throughout the debate.
St. Therese please help Sarah tonight... Shower her with your heavenly roses like you did me.
Guardian Angel of Sarah Palin help her too... be with her.
Guardian Angel of Joe Biden help Sarah.
Guardian Angel of Gwen Ifel be with Sarah.
All of the Guardian Angels at Washington University be with Sarah tonight.
[Fourth Salutation]
By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Dominations may the Lord give us grace to govern our senses and overcome any unruly passions. Amen.Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
Holy Mary, Mater Dei, pray for Sarah Palin - ask your Son to give her strength, wisdom, courage, and comfort
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen
May God be with Sarah tonight.
It’s the 3 o’clock hour. My MIL always tells me to say the Divine Mercy during this time...Off to say it before the kids get home. This is the best thread on FR right now.
TRISAGION
According to Wikipedia, the word trisagion is from the Greek tris- (three) + hagios (holy). It is pronounced “tree-sah-yon.” The Trisagion ('Thrice Holy') is a standard hymn of the Divine Liturgy in most of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches and Eastern Catholic Churches.
The Trisagion prayer is considered one of the oldest prayers in Christianity. It may be that the prayer was originally an expansion of the angelic cry recorded in Revelation 4:8 (sometimes called the Sanctus).
In English this is:
In Latin this is:
In Aramaic:
I pray that Sarah will gain strength from recalling the stories of Mary.
One of my favorite verses in times like this is from 1 Peter, 5:6-7
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand,
that he may lift you up at the proper time.
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”
[Fifth Salutation]
By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Virtues may the Lord preserve us from evil and falling into temptation. Amen.Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Amen....beautiful.
Praying for our future Vice President, God willing. Amen.
That prayer gives me a lump in the throat. Just exquisite!
Well said, you are a good pray-er!
