O all Holy Angels,
who contemplate unceasingly the uncreated beauty
of the Divinity, in company with our ever-glorious Queen,
we present and offer to you this prayer
not only as a means of obtaining favors
but also as a reparation for our past ingratitude,
and that of all men.
Please accept it, O amiable Spirits,
in union with the love and devotion of such Saints
as were especially devout to you,
and obtain for us the grace to spend this life fervently
that it may be the commencement of that blessed life
which we hope to live forever with you in Heaven.
Columban Daily Prayer
O Holy Angels
