Prayer to the Angel Who Strengthened Jesus in the Garden of Olives

O holy angel who strengthened Jesus Christ Our Lord, come and strengthen us also and tarry not!

I salute thee holy angel who didst comfort my Jesus in His agony, and with thee I praise the Most Holy Trinity for having chosen thee from among all the holy angels to comfort and strengthen Him who is the comfort and strength of all that are afflicted. By the honor thou didst enjoy and by the obedience, humility and love wherewith thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus, my Savior, when He was fainting for very sorrow at seeing the sins of the world and especially my sins, I beseech thee to obtain for me perfect sorrow for my sins; deign to strengthen me in the afflictions that now overwhelm me, and in all the other trials, to which I shall be exposed henceforth, and in particular when I find myself in my final agony. Amen.
