11. August Queen of Heaven

Prayer to Virgin Mary Queen of Heaven for the help of Angels

The Venerable Luis Eduardo Cestac, founder of the Congregation of the Servants of Mary, writes about the Queen of Angels:

A Bernadine sister (or just a soul according to him in 1863) received a prayer from Most Holy Virgin Mary;

She requested to pray to her as the Queen of Angels and ask of her the assistance of the heavenly legions to fight against the deadly foes of God and of men;

“August Queen of Heaven! Sovereign Mistress of Angels!

Thou who from the beginning has received from God the power and mission to crush the head of Satan; We humbly beseech Thee to send the Holy Legions, that under thy command, and by Thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits: encounter them on every side: resist their bold attacks and drive them hence into the abyss of eternal woe. Amen.”

Saint Pío X granted three hundred days of indulgence to those who recited it.
