About Our Lady of the Angels
The Our Lady of the Angels Novena is a beautiful traditional Catholic prayer honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title Our Lady of the Angels, Queen of Heaven and Queen of the Angels. Catholics turn to her powerful intercession for protection, spiritual strength, guidance, peace, and the grace to remain faithful to Jesus Christ.
As Queen of the Angels, the Blessed Virgin Mary lovingly watches over her children and leads them ever closer to her Divine Son. Through her maternal care and the assistance of the holy angels, the faithful seek protection from evil, strength during temptation, and perseverance on the path to eternal life.
This title is especially connected with the Portiuncula, the little church near Assisi so dearly loved by St. Francis of Assisi. The Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Angels on August 2, a day also associated with the Portiuncula Indulgence, reminding Catholics of God’s abundant mercy and the call to continual conversion.
