PRAYERS AFTER MASS AND COMMUNION

Prayer Before a Crucifix



Look down 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, "They have pierced My Hands and My Feet, they have numbered all My Bones."   (Ps. 21, 17-18)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, for our Holy Father's intentions;

Plenary indulgence when said after Communion; (S. Paen, Ap., 2 Feb 1934)


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 Thy wounds, hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come to Thee.
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee.
Forever and ever.   Amen.

An indulgence of 300 days.  An indulgence of 7 years, if recited after Holy Communion.
St. Ignatius Loyola

Sacred Penetentiary, January 15, 1924.

These two invocations were taught by Our Lord to Sr. M. Martha
Chambon, deceased, in the Visitation of Chambery, France, March
21, 1907.  The Sister received from Our Lord a double "Misson":
constantly to invoke the HOLY WOUNDS herself, and to revive
this devotion in the world.

Promises of Our Lord to Sr. Mary Martha

"I will grant all that is asked of me by the invocation of My HOLY WOUNDS.  You must spread the devotion."


PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN

O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the power of your greatest enemy -- the evil spirits.

Cast them in to the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever!  Take possession of your Kingdom, which You have created and which is rightfully yours.

Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath that I take.  Amen.

Imprimatur, March 1973, +Richard H. Ackerman
Bishop of Covington
