It was never in the Mass. It was said after the Mass, at the foot of the altar. The Mass had ended, the dismissal and final blessing given, and then the priest and altar servers knelt down and the prayers were recited.

Of the several Catholic Churches in my area, only one (Sts. Peter and Paul) does this after every mass. None of the other churches does it at all.

This has probably been discussed in the past, but whatever happened to the “prayer of St. Michael” in the Mass? Before Vll it was part of the mass. Was this optional to not include this prayer? Shows how much I know.😊 On the other hand, this is how I am learning more.😉

Start going to a Traditional Latin Mass when the Motu Propio comes out, loosening restrictions on it’s use. Any you will once again, say the prayer to Blessed St Michael the Archangel after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We need the prayer to St Michael in these times of despair after any Mass.

All of the churches in my area have public recitation of the Rosary - all but one DAILY recitation of it - and all include the prayer to St Michael at the end. So it’s definitely being said PLENTY :yup:
 
At daily Mass were I go, we say the Divine Praises. I’d like to say the Prayer to St. Michael publicly, but I just say it myself.
It’s one of my favorite prayers.
 
The most fascinating thing about it is that there’s a little more than Seminarian Matt’s version: from what I’ve read in several places, Pope Leo saw Satan at the beginning of time boasting that, given a century, he could take God’s people away from Him. God said “You can’t; take one.” He chose the twentieth.

I find this story pretty encouraging, since it makes me think that civilization won’t just get worse and worse but will get better now that we’re out of the 1900s.

You are correct about the vision. Many people claim that the lack of modesty and the wars and promotion of grave evils like abortion, gay marriage, contraception, etc are all because of satan. They likewise claim that the abuses after Vatican II are also from satan seeking to destroy the Church from within.

Seminarian Matt, if you don’t mind, can I ask you again: where is the vision spoken of as being authentic?
 
The vision is true. I’ve never heard that it wasn’t.
St. Michaels prayer is a powerful prayer shortened from the original prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII.

I pray it in each room of my home when I sprinkle Holy
Water. It is also prayed daily with the Rosary after daily mass.
