Send Your Angel to Holy Mass

For those days you find yourself unable to make Mass even though you'd like to:

SEND YOUR ANGEL TO HOLY MASS

O Holy Angel at my side,
go to church for me.
kneel in my place at Holy Mass,
where I desire to be.
AT OFFERTORY, IN MY STEAD,
take all I am and own,
and place it as a sacrifice
upon the altar throne.
AT HOLY CONSECRATION’S BELL,
adore with seraph’s love
my Jesus hidden in the host,
come down from Heaven above.
THEN PRAY FOR THOSE I DEARLY LOVE,
and those who cause me grief,
that Jesus’ Blood may cleanse all hearts,
and suffering souls relieve.
AND WHEN THE PRIEST COMMUNION TAKES,
Oh bring my Lord to me,
that His sweet Heart may rest on mine,
and I His temple be.
PRAY THAT THIS SACRIFICE DIVINE,
may mankind’s sins efface;
Then bring me Jesus’ blessing home,
the pledge of every grace.

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

--AMEN

This prayer could be said privately, or with you families. Often times I’ll read the daily readings along with the meditation in the Magnificat and make a spiritual Communion. The readings and meditation could be done as a family. I know I would have loved to have known about these prayers when I first started home schooling and was unable to reach a Church regularly for daily Mass. It would have been a nice option. I hope it might be helpful for at least some of you who might like to get to Mass during the week, but who are unable to.

God bless and have a wonderful weekend!
