I am postive we’ve always concluded with St. Michaels’s prayer. Can’t remember a single time it’s been omitted. Wonder what this is all about? Is it referring to a non-Catholic service?
Until some of us started it at Daily Mass, it wasn’t being done at my church. We also say it after the Rosary.
Perhaps there are many other churches that could start this.
That’s what I think the author is addressing.
We need protection against Obama!
St. Michael, be out protection.
The saying of this powerful prayer was officially suppressed in 1964, after Vatican II. In our area (the Archdiocese of New York), in no parish that I have attended Mass has it been used, that is, until recently. I have heard members of the congrgatiion say the prayer on their own, but not led by the priest.
Last Christmas,however, I attended a beautiful Novus Ordo Mass at St. Veronica’s in Chantilly, Virginia - the Mass itself was partially in Latin, and the priest said the Mass ad orientem (”facing East”, with his back to the people). After that Mass, the priest led the people in the traditional prayers after Mass as done in the Tridentine rite.
I no longer regularly attend the novus ordo Mass, that is unless I cannot find a Traditional Latin Mass; after every Low Mass, as prescribed in the 1962 Missal, the Prayer to Saint Michael is said by the priest and congregation with the rest of the traditional after-Mass prayers: 3 Hail Marys, Hail Holy Queen, O God our refuge and ou strength, Prayer to Saint Michael.
