PRAYERS AFTER MASS AND COMMUNION
Prayer Before a Crucifix
 Look clown upon me good and gentle
Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray
and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively
sentiments of faith, hope and charity,
true contrition for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate
with great love and tender pity Thy Five Wounds, pondering over them within me and calling to mind the
words which David Thy prophet said of Thee my Jesus,

numbered all My Bones." (Ps. 21, 17-18)

 Blessed Virgin Mary to Saint Dominic, "One Day through
the Rosary and Scapular I will save the World"
"Whosoever dies clothed in this (scapular) shall not suffer
eternal fire."
This is Mary's Promise made July 16,1261 to Saint Simon Stock.
The devils revealed to Francis of Yepes, the brother of
St. John of the Cross, that three things especially tormented them. The first is the Name of Jesus; the second,
the Name of Mary, and the third, the Brown Scapular of
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. "Take off that habit," they
cried to him, "which snatches so many souls from us.
All those clothed in it die piously and escape us."
Your SCAPULAR, then should take on deep meaning
for you. It is a rich present brought down from Heaven
by
OUR LADY HERSELF "Wear it devoutly and perseveringly,"she says to each
soul, "it is my garment. To be clothed in it means you
are continually thinking of me, and I in turn, am always
thinking of you and helping you to secure eternal life."
Prayer of St. Simon Stock Known as the FLOWER
of CARMELI, the following prayer has
for seven centuries been called a prayer to the Blessed
Mother which has never been known to fail in obtaining
her powerful help.
Prayer O beautiful Flower of Carmel, most
fruitful vine, Splendor of Heaven, holy and singular, who brought forth the
Son of God, still ever remaining a Pure Virgin, assist me
in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help and protect me!
Show me that Thou art my Mother.
O Mary, Conceived without sin,
Pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Mother and Ornament of Carmel, Pray for us!
Virgin, Flower of Carmel, Pray for us!
Patroness of all who wear the Scapular, Pray for us!
Hope of all who die wearing the Scapular, Pray for us!
St. Joseph, Friend of the Sacred Heart, Pray for us!
St. Joseph, Chaste Spouse of Mary, Pray for us!
St. Joseph, Our Patron, Pray for us!
O sweet Heart of Mary, Be our Salvation!
The Fifteen Promises of Mary to Christians
Who
Recite the Rosary 1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the
rosary, shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all
those who shall recite the rosary.
3. The rosary shall be a powerful armour against hell, it will
destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain
for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts
of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift
them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify
themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of
the rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the rosary
devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries
shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice,
he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall
remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary shall not die
without the sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have during
their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of
His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the
merits of the saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to
the rosary.
10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a high degree
of glory in heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the
rosary.
12. All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by
me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of
the rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court
during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers of my
only son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion of my rosary is a great sign of predestination.
(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan) Imprimatur:
PATRICK J. HAYES, D. D., Archbishop of New York.
WHY the
daily rosary? Our Lady has 117 titles. She selected this title at Fatima: "I am the
Lady of the Rosary".
St. Francis de Sales said the greatest method of praying IS Pray
the Rosary.
St. Thomas Aquinas preached 40 straight days in Rome Italy on just the
Hail Mary. St. John Vianney, patron of priests, was seldom seen
without a rosary in his hand. "The rosary is the scourge of the devil" - Pope Adrian VI.
"The rosary is a treasure of graces" Pope Paul V. Padre Pio the stigmatic priest said: "The rosary is
THE WEAPON"
Pope Leo XIII wrote 9 encyclicals on the rosary. Pope John XXI 11 spoke 38 times about our Lady and the Rosary. He prayed
15 decades daily.
St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote: "The rosary is the most
powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who so loves
His Mother."
If you wish to obtain a favor:
Pray THE "54-day ROSARY NOVENA". Pray 3 nine day rosary novenas 27 days of petition; Pray 3 nine day rosary novenas - 27 days of thanksgiving. Will you
give 1% of 1440 minutes each day to God?
If so, pray the daily rosary in
I5 minutes 1% of 24 hours. Later on, give 3% and pray entire 15 decade
rosary. Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries. |
