Prayers of Pope Leo XIII After Mass

Remember the Leonine Prayers? Pope Leo XIII had a vision in which he saw the Church being attacked by the devil in the 20th century. He was dead-on correct. To call down God's graces on the Church, he directed that certain prayers be prayed after all Low Masses. After Vatican II, those prayers were dropped - with no official directive to do so.

I suggest that these be resumed as soon as possible (click on the link above for these prayers). Even if it doesn't happen in your Church, stay after Mass a few minutes longer and recite them by yourself or with companions. As an added benefit, you will be a witness for reverence to the rest of the congregation who will undoubtedly be carrying on as though the nave of the Church was a social hall.
