Angela, woman of vision and woman of daring, empower us…..

Angela for harmony and well-being intercede for us.

Angela, woman filled with the wisdom of age, give us the wisdom we need to act.

Angela, peacemaker and reconciler of broken relationships, hear our prayer        

Angela, for perseverance to follow the Spirit give us the wisdom and courage we need.

Angela, we pray for the humility to realize that we have God and all creation on our side   

Angela, peacemaker and reconciler of broken relationships, hear our prayer

Angela, who was a woman of optimism and joy give us the wisdom we need to act.

Angela, friend of those in need; woman of prayer who found her refuge at the feet of Jesus empower and strengthen us.
