Saint Aloysius' Devotion to the Angels

 Saint Aloysius had four special devotions:

• The first of these was his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.  
• The second devotion was to the Passion of Our Lord. 
• The third devotion was his ardent love of Our Lady 

• Lastly his devotion to the Angels. 

"O my soul, contemplate the surpassing beauty of these citizens of paradise! They shine like a vast constellation of radiant stars, or even like the sun itself, in the splendid city of God."

--St. Aloysius Gonzaga

Devotion to the Angels

Imagine yourself standing before the nine choirs of Angels who are praying to God and singing Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortalis, miserere nobis, and repeat this prayer nine times in union with them.

Recommend yourself to your Angel Guardian three times a day; in the morning by the prayer "Angele Dei", in the evening by the same prayer, and during the day when you visit the Altars in Churches. Remember that you are to be guided by your Angel like a blind man, who cannot see the dangers of the streets, and trusts entirely to the person who leads him.
