Prayer to the Holy Archangel Who Strengthened Our Lord in His Agony.

Consoling Angel, O holy Angel who didst strengthen Jesus Christ Our Lord, come and strengthen us also; come and tarry not!

Consoling Angel, O Holy Angel who didst strengthen Jesus in His agony, and with thee I praise the most holy Trinity for having chosen thee from among all the Holy angels to comfort and
strengthen Him Who is the comfort and strength of all that are in affliction.  By the honor thou didst enjoy and by the obedience, humility, and love wherewith thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus, my Savior, when He was fainting for very sorrow at seeing the sins of the world and especially my sins, I beseech thee to obtain for me perfect sorrow for my sins; deign to strengthen me in the afflictions that now overwhelm me, and in all the other trials, to which I shall be exposed henceforth and, in particular, when I find myself in my final agony.

Many thanks for great post- it has led me into several hours roaming around in Raccota, Enchiridon of Indulgences, and Pententiary Apostolic, all of which are almost entirely new worlds for me.  Would you suspect the name of this Archangel is known?  I'm not surprised it would be an Archangel that comforted Jesus, but I'm thinking none of my Gospel translations specifically mentioned an Archangel.  I'll keep looking but wonder if others know?

Yes thank you again for these wonderful submissions.

I wonder if in my reading I will ever come across the answer to your question eschator. I hope someone does, surely there has been some speculation about the matter.
