Prayers before and after Mass:

Parish Prayer to Our Lady of Grace

It is becoming for you, O Mary, to be mindful of us,
as you stand near Him who bestowed upon you all graces,
for you are the Mother of God and our Queen.

Come to our aid for the sake of the King, the Lord God and Master who was born of you.
For this reason, you are called “full of grace.”

Be mindful of us, most holy Virgin,
and bestow on us gifts from the riches of your graces,
O Virgin, full of grace.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.
