Prayer to the Holy Archangel Gabriel

holy Gabriel, great archangel, who standest before the throne of God, art illumined with splendor by divine light and enlightened by the knowledge of unapproachable mysteries of His eternal wisdom! With full earnestness I beseech thee: Guide me to repentance, away from evil deeds, and to the confirmation in my faith; strengthen and preserve my soul against deluding temptations, and entreat our Creator for the remission of my sins. O great and holy Archangel Gabriel, disdain me not, a sinner, who beg thee for help and aid in this age and that which is to come; but ever show thyself to be a helper for me, that I may unceasingly glorify the dominion of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and thine intercession, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
