Guardian Angel Barachiel

A Prayer to St. Barachiel:

Oh Blessed St. Barachiel,
Obtain for us through your intercession,
The fullness of the graces of the most holy sacrament of matrimony.
Intercede for us most fervently,
In those moments of great duress and temptation,
When we are most unlikely to recall your power to intercede for us.
And that, through your benevolent love,
You may thwart the efforts and temptations of the evil one,
To harm wedlock, family and our faith.
Be the strength against our weaknesses.
Help us, our children and our faith to grow in the love of God, Jesus and Mary.
Amen
