Hi y’all,

I was just wondering, what prayers do you all pray when you are kneeling in the 5-10 minutes before mass? Do you pray the rosary? A chaplet? A special prayer before Mass?

Let me know because I don’t personally have like ONE prayer that I pray before mass but a conglomerate of many.

Thanks and God bless!

No prayer. Just think about what is about to transpire and how good God is to me for allowing me the previlege of just being there.

God is love.
 
Missals contain good prayers for this occasion. I tend to ask forgiveness then for focus and help from the Holy Spirit.
 
One Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be; then I thank God for my safe trip to Mass. Sometimes if I have something weighing on my heart I will pray about that too.
 
Usually I’m just quiet, trying to collect myself and put my mind in God’s presence. Then, because I bring The Imitation of Christ with me each time, I read a meditation about Communion.
 
I talk to God, thanking Him that I can spend this time with Him. Loving Him!
 
We are at the church an hour before Mass - not because we’re so holy, that’s just the way the schedule works out! We have to catch the ferry and if we take the next ferry, we’re late for the rosary.

I have my “deck” of holy cards that I pray with, and my Peace chaplet. Half an hour before Mass all who have arrived by then say the rosary, then back to personal prayer. I sometimes read the readings for the day. Or I just sit and love God. I’m getting better at that all the time - which is good as I’m getting older! 😉
 
I usually say the Prayer of St. Ambrose (“Lord Jesus Christ, I approach your banquet table in fear and trembling…”) and the prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas (“Almighty and Eternal God, behold I come to the sacrament of Your only-begotten Son…”) and then I go over the readings before Mass starts 👍
 
My mind is always everywhere. I pray that Jesus will bring me to the cross, that I’ll be as aware as I can be of what is happening.
 
I usually pray a private, ad libbed prayer to God; I might be thanking Him, asking forgiveness, or something along those lines. If I am having trouble focusing, I will say Hail Marys. I do also sometimes read the scripture readings, say a Rosary or Divine Mercy.
 
God Bless to all of you here!!! Well let me share this with you if you could possibly read this on Google entitled “The Holy Mass Explained to Catalina by Jesus and Mary”. Catalina Rivas is a visionary to whom Jesus Christ and Mama Mary explained to her what to do before Mass, within and After. This is a very nice story. I hope this testimony will enlighten us all. I personally applied this months ago right after knowing and reading this message.Thanks and Godspeed!!!

Her activities have not been approved by the church. But there is another stigmatist, Fr. Pio, whom you may want to read about concerning the Mass.

May God bless and keep you. May God’s face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace.
 
If I will be receiving Communion, I pray the Holy Communion Chaplet. It takes about eight minutes.

If I will not be receiving Communion, I pray the Blessed Sacrament Chaplet. It takes about two minutes. I repeat it at Mass, while everyone else is receiving.

I generally pray these chaplets prior to arriving at the church—I am the sacristan so 20 minutes (during the week) to an hour (Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation) before Mass I’m busy with the practical matters of opening the church or chapel, preparing the sanctuary and vesting the priest.
 
We say the rosary before Mass that the priest leads. Lately, I’ve been trying to meditate on the passion before and during Mass. Padre Pio said to transport yourself to calvary during the Mass, so that’s what I try to do.
