  • There is a paperback booklet &X5" with 23 pages printed in Ireland 1944 which has been reprinted.
    It contains
    Descriptions and prayers to the 9 choirs PLUS 22 other angels for a total of 31
    (I guess you pray to a different set every day of the month)
    Some are those who:-
    the angel of our Parish
    who assist us in death,
    console the souls in purgatory
    our patron saint's guardian angel
    the angels of bad & ignorant Catholics
    the angels of heretics & infidels
    the angel of our city
    the angels of our family & benefactors
    ETC etc

    The book also contain Te Deum Laudamus
    Ave Regina Coelorum
    The Benedicite
    Gloria in Excelsis
    Litany of those saints who have been specially favoured by the Angels
    The beads of the Holy Angels
    Litany of the Holy Angels
    Litany of the Angel Guardian
    Devotion in honour of St. Michael and the 9 choirs of angels (Angelic Chaplet)

    Prayer against Satan & the rebellious angels (Leo XIII)
    Prayer to St. Michael (long form)
    EXORCISM

    I have a few unused copies. $2.50 US Pstge $2.00 to Canada and the US.

    Glad to see Miseremini has a copy of that Irish book (printed when I was 2).
    In the meanwhile here is a little on the angels;

    ‘In attendance upon the Divine Majesty, thus enthroned, are vast hosts of angels, who are divided into three hierarchies, one serving in the empyrean, one in the heavens between the empyrean and the earth, and one on the earth. Each of these hierarchies is divided into three choirs, or orders; the first, into the orders of Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones; and the main occupation of these is to chant incessantly – to “continually cry” the divine praises. The order of Thrones conveys God’s will to the second hierarchy, which serves in the movable heavens. This second hierarchy is also made up of three orders. The first of these, the order of Dominions, receives the divine commands; the second, the order of Powers, moves the heavens, sun, moon, planets, and stars, opens and shuts the “windows of heaven,” and brings to pass all other celestial phenomena; the third, the order of Empire [rather Powers or Authorities], guards the others [warrior angels].
         ‘The third and lowest hierarchy is also made up of three orders. First of these are the Principalities, the guardian spirits of nations and kingdoms. Next come Archangels; these protect religion, and bear the prayers of the saints to the foot of God’s throne. Finally come Angels; these care for earthly affairs in general, one being appointed to each mortal, and others taking charge of the qualities of plants, metals, stones and the like. Throughout the whole system, from the great Triune God to the lowest group of angels, we see at work the mystic power attached to the triangle and sacred number three – the same which gave the triune deities in Egypt, and which transmitted this theological gift to the Christian world, especially through the Egyptian Athanasius.
         ‘Below the earth is hell. This is tenanted by the angels who rebelled under the lead of Lucifer, prince of the seraphim –the former favourite of the Trinity; but, of these rebellious angels, some still rove among the planetary spheres, and give trouble to the good angels; others pervade the atmosphere about the earth, carrying lightning, storm, drought, and hail; others infest earthly society, tempting men to sin; but Peter Lombard and St Thomas Aquinas take pains to show that the work of these devils is, after all, but to discipline man or to mete out deserved punishment.' ---- Andrew D. White: A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, New York, Appleton, 1870 and updated 1896, p. 116.
