一篇常見於東正教和某些民間天主教英語Folk Catholicism傳統中通用的聖巴拉基勒禱文如下:

O Powerful Archangel, St. Barachiel, filled with heaven's glory and splendour, you are rightly called God's benediction. We are God's children placed under your protection and care. Hear our supplications (name them). Grant that, through your loving intercession, we may reach our heavenly home one day. Sustain us and protect us from all harm that we may possess for all eternity the peace and happiness that Jesus has prepared for us in heaven. Present God the Father all these petitions, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, together with the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
