With the Church we sing:
O leaders of the heavenly hosts, cover us with the powerful and immaterial wings, and keep us safe from all harm. Although we are unworthy, we fall before you and pray: “Rescue us from all danger and affliction, you princes of heavenly glory!”
(Tropar of the Feast of St. Michael and all Holy Angels)
