Prayers After Mass.

A Prayer After Mass.

ALMIGHTY, Everlasting God, we humbly beseech Thee to look down from Thy high and holy place upon this congregations, and mercifully hear and accept the prayers of Thy Church. Of Thine infinite mercy be pleased to grant us pardon of all our sins, soundness of mind, health of body, and all the necessaries of life: grant also peace in our days, freedom from tempests, and fruitful seasons. Grant also to our prayers the unity of the Catholic Faith, the extirpation of heresies, the destruction of wicked counsels, the increase of true religion, fervor of love and piety, sincere devotion, patience and long-suffering in affliction, and joy in hope. Finally, grant us all things needful for the welfare of our souls and bodies, but, above all, whatever may promote the increase of Thy glory. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Prayers After Mass

Ordered by Pope Leo XIII. to be said, kneeling, in all the Churches of the World after the celebration of Low Mass.

"HAIL MARY," (three times).

HAIL, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! to thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping, in this valley of tears! Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus: O clement, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. O GOD, our refuge and our strength, graciously look upon Thy people who cry to Thee; and through the intercession of the glorious and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Joseph, her Spouse, and Thy holy Apostles, Peter and Paul and all the Saints, in Thy mercy and kindness hear the prayers which we pour forth for the conversion of sinners, and for the freedom and exaltation of Holy Mother the Church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

HOLY Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil - Rebuke him, O GOD, we suppliantly beseech Thee: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power drive into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits, who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. grants to all who recite these prayers, as aforesaid, 300 days indulgence.

MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS, HAVE MERCY ON US (three times).
