SAINTS MICHAEL, GABRIEL AND RAPHAEL ARCHANGELS
PRAYER BEFORE HOLY MASS Act of Love beforeMass
O my God, I love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with no other desire than to be inseparably united to Thee. It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

7:9-10,13-14
His robe was white as snow
As I watched: Thrones were set
in place and one of great age took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the
hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames, its wheels
were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A
thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before
him. A court was held and the books were opened. I gazed into the visions of
the night. And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man. He
came to the one of great age and was led into his presence. On him was
conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, and men of all peoples, nations and
languages became his servants. His sovereignty is an eternal
sovereignty which shall never pass away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.
sovereignty which shall never pass away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.
In the presence of the angels
I will bless you O Lord

Gospel John 1:47-51
You will see heaven laid open,
and the Son of Man
When Jesus saw Nathanael
coming he said of him, ‘There is an Israelite who deserves the name, incapable
of deceit.’ ‘How do you know me?’ said Nathanael. ‘Before Philip came to call
you,’ said Jesus ‘I saw you under the fig tree.’ Nathanael answered, ‘Rabbi,
you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel.’ Jesus replied, ‘You
believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You will see
greater things than that.’ And then he added ‘I tell you most solemnly, you
will see heaven laid open and, above the Son of Man, the angels of God
ascending and descending.’
