I pray the St. Michael prayer and the Divine Praises. I’ve been trying to get my husband to join me, and he finally did this past Sunday. 🙂 Yea!

Actually I’ve not heard of the Leonie prayers… thank you.

Why are they called that? Was Leonie a person? Now I understand why there is a poster here with that member name - duh! 😊

I didn’t know either. :o I think I will pray those too. 🙂 Thank you!
 
Actually Leonine
after Pope Leo XIII, who extended these prayers after Low Mass to the whole Latin rite in 1884.
There were subsequent changes by later popes, such as the addition of the St. Michael prayer.

I’d include a link to a more detailed description but I don’t have time to check on whether those sites are, how shall I say this, loyal to the Holy Father.
 
I usually go home and read/study the Bible for a few hours. I usually wait for the church to empty, plenty of time for some prayers.

Back on mute. :cool:
 
Because mass is in a hall for me we have to clear up pretty sharpish afterwards so other people can get in and use the room so the answer is no.
 
When I get to go alone:D . Being one of seven from 3 to 63 makes it hard to do. Also I don’t stay if there is alot of noise to distract me. I have my home alter to go to get some quiet time.:crossrc:
 
I wish that I could. But with 5 children 3 of them under 4. Mass is just about how long they can hold it together before they crack. Plus we go to the Sunday Evening mass and they start locking up as soon as mass is over. We try to get to mass at least 15-20 minutes early to pary before the tabernacle.
 
I stay to listen to the organ or piano postlude and while I’m listening, I praise the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle. To me, it’s as close as I can get to heaven right now.

I really love it when a really good organ postlude is played, one where all the stops are pulled out and the pews shake!)

The musician went to the trouble to practice a postlude and the least I can do is pay him/her the courtesy of listening to it and thanking him/her afterwards. (I play piano, BTW, so I’m prejudiced!)
 
At the home parish in the US, I stayed and pray the divine mercy before the Blessed Sacrament and give thanks to God. In Iraq it is impossible…
 
I’d LOVE to, but it’s just too darn noisy. So I pray in my car on the way home.
 
I usually go ahead of mass about a half hour to pray. After mass I leave fairly promptly as there is the Choir practicing and lots of confusion and talking. I would, however, like to see my parish start saying the rosary again before the earliest morning mass on Sunday. It was curtailed quite a few years ago as it was too much of a “distraction” to the others trying to say private prayers from what I was told.

yes, the priest stays after every daily mass (4 each day) to do the entire Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy with the congregation, after replacing the Blessed Sacrament for perpetual adoration.

i am lucky to be able to attend one of the strongest parishes in Southern California, St. Peter Chanel in Hawaiian Gardens. it is staffed by the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. not only do they have perpetual adoration 24/7/365, they have confessions before, during, and after Mass, in addition to the 4-hour lot on Saturday (and yes, there is a line or two there at all of them!) they also practice a total consecration to Mary.

it is no coincidence that the parish has one of the strongest congregations in the land, and young people flock there like groupies!

bonus points: they have a strict dress code, with signs enforcing them outside… and yes, it’s still a novus ordo english mass!

You are truly BLESSED!!

I stay and light a candle and say some prayer for my family, friends, and CAF members.

St. Peter Chanel in the city of Hawaiian Gardens, in the county of Los Angeles, California. it’s right next to Orange County. it’s actually not my home parish, but i do wish ours would model after them. probably not likely…
 
Yes! We go to the last mass of the day. When they start hinting by turning off the lights, we know its time to go home and enjoy our Sunday afternoon! 😉

Mine are prayers of thanksgiving for Jesus in the Eucharist, as well as prayers for family and friends.
 
I’m used to staying. Though, yes, sometimes there’s too much talking inside/outside the church etc.

Scott Hahn once said that if people understood at least 20% of what is going on the mass they would have shared with everyone what’s really going on there. I wish that people were at least sometimes talking about that 🙂
 
Yes, at daily Mass there is a group of about eight of us who stay to say the Rosary together. Most of the time the priest joins us and leads the last Mystery.

This isn’t possible at Sunday Mass where everyone starts greeting others and chatting with them. For Sunday Mass, the best thing is to go early and pray quietly before Mass.
 
At my parish its absolutely impossible to have quiet prayer time before or after mass.
