I`m wondering what are some of the short prayers that i see alot of folks silently reciteing before leaving church after mass.

On EWTN the St. Michael the Archangel prayer is said. It is my understanding that praying that prayer after Mass used to be the norm. I wish that would make a “comeback” as everyone seems to be in a hurry to leave. In my old Parish, the Priest was lucky to beat the congregation to the door!:nope:There seems to be some standard out there.I see it all the time on EWTN but i can`t make out the prayers. Ithink the ANIMA CHRISTI would fit there nicely.
We say it in our parish! We also say a Rosary before.On EWTN the St. Michael the Archangel prayer is said. It is my understanding that praying that prayer after Mass used to be the norm.

As our very Pious Pastor says, “A Decade a Day keeps the Devil away!”
AWESOME! I have no complaints about my Church, it’s pretty Orthodox, but I wish we would say the St. Michael prayer!:yup:For those who don’t know the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
“St. Michael the Archangel
Defend us in Battle
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
And You, Oh Prince of the Heavenly Host
Cast into Hell, Satan and the evil spirits
Who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen”
Say it everyday and often. It keeps our church safe.
I’m not sure about after the final blessing, but I always pray the Amani Christi (sp?) after Communion - it’s usually on the back of the missal:I`m wondering what are some of the short prayers that i see alot of folks silently reciteing before leaving church after mass.
O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee,
Who truly art within the forms before me;
To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee,
As failing quite in contemplating Thee.
Sight, touch, and taste in Thee are each deceived;
The ear alone most safely is believed:
I believe all the Son of God has spoken,
Than Truth’s own word there is no truer token.
God only on the Cross lay hid from view;
But here lies hid at once the Manhood too:
And I, in both professing my belief,
Make the same prayer as the repentant thief.
Thy wounds, as Thomas saw, I do not see;
Yet Thee confess my Lord and God to be:
Make me believe Thee ever more and more;
In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store.
O thou Memorial of our Lord’s own dying!
O Bread that living art and vivifying!
Make ever Thou my soul on Thee to live;
Ever a taste of Heavenly sweetness give.
O loving Pelican! O Jesu, Lord!
Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood;
Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt,
Is ransom for a world’s entire guilt.
'thannJesu! Whom for the present veil’d I see,
What I so thirst for, O vouchsafe to me:
That I may see Thy countenance unfolding,
And may be blest Thy glory in beholding. Amen.
Seems like a perfect time to start!AWESOME! I have no complaints about my Church, it’s pretty Orthodox, but I wish we would say the St. Michael prayer!:yup:
Does anyone know the patron saint of public speaking??:bigyikes: !!! I’ll have to think about this one! You’re right, sometimes if you want something done you have to do it yourself!
