As the Archangel of contemplation and worship, his angelic purity transforms the love and worship which we mortals give to God. We need St. Sealtiel's powerful intercession before God's throne to overcome the evils of hedonism in our day. May the evils of drug addition, sex exploitation and abortion become things of discredited past. May endless hymns of praise rise from all peoples as they chant in union with the Heavenly Choirs of Angels, in perpetual thanksgiving for God's bountiful blessings. He is known to be the angel who stopped Abraham from killing his son Isaac as a sacrifice. (Gen. 22:12)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Guide us in our prayer. Like you, we would like to unceasingly pray and worship God the right way. May our lives be like incense pleasing to God. While awaiting for the inevitable time of separation from this material world, may we praise the Holy Trinity in the spirit of true love and humility throughout the days of our life in eternity. Obtain for us these favors _________ and present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro Bold","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent3; mso-themeshade: 128;">Amen.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
