The “Prayer to the Holy Angel Who Comforted Jesus in His Agony” is an ancient devotion rooted in the account found in the Gospel of Saint Luke (22:43), where an angel from heaven appears to strengthen Jesus during His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this prayer, we salute that holy angel — chosen by the Most Holy Trinity from among all the heavenly hosts for the most sacred of missions — and ask for his intercession on our behalf. We implore him to obtain for us true sorrow for our sins, strength in our present afflictions, and grace in all the trials that lie ahead, most especially at the hour of our own final agony.
