The Prayers at the Foot of the Altar
and
The Leonine Prayers
The Latin Mass Society of Saint Ferdinand
This booklet is intended as an aid for the Priest and Servers in the Low Mass, specifi-
cally in reciting the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the Leonine Prayers. However,
this does not contain the whole Order of the Mass.

It is suitable for the Priest to leave this booklet invisibly on the Altar, preferably behind
the Missal stand.


For the Servers, it is fitting to leave this booklet at the lowest gradine on the Gospel
Side, the home position upon beginning and about to end of the Mass.
V. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among
women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
R. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour
of our death. Amen.

(thrice)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our
hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we
send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb,
Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

V. LET US PRAY.

O God, our Refuge and our Strength, look down in mercy on Thy peo-
ple who cry to Thee: and by the intercession of the glorious and im-
maculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of St. Joseph her Spouse, of Thy
blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the Saints, in mercy and
goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the
freedom and exaltation of our holy Mother the Church. Through the
same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

Saint 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, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl
about the world for the ruin of souls.

R. Amen.

V. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
R. Have mercy on us.
(thrice)

V. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
R: Amen.
