THE MEMORARE

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you do I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our safe guard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O prince of Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all evil spirits, who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THOSE UNABLE TO BE WITH US AT MASS TODAY

Our dear Jesus, we beseech you to grant your grace to our brothers and sisters unable to be with us at Mass today. Keep them safe, support them with your love, be near them in moment of sickness and anxiety and bless all those who care for those in need. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ANIMA CHRISTI

Soul of Christ, sanctify me! Body of Christ, save me! Blood of Christ inebriate me! Water from the side of Christ, wash me! Passion of Christ, Strengthen me! O good Jesus, hear me! Within your wounds, hide me! Permit me not to be separated from you! From the malicious enemy, defend me! At the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to you! So that with your saints, I may praise you forever and ever, Amen!
