Virgin Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Locket Shrine Necklace




August Queen of Heaven,
sovereign Queen of Angels,
you who at the beginning
received from God
the power and the mission to crush the head of satan,
we beseech you humbly,
send your Holy legions so that,
on your orders and by your power,
they will track down demons,
fight them everywhere,
curb their audacity and plunge them into the abyss.

Who can be compared to God?
Oh good and tender Mother,
you will always be our love and our hope.

Oh Divine Mother,
send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me
and to keep the cruel enemy far from me.

Holy Angels and Archangels defend us,
protect us.

Amen.
