A METHOD OF HEARING MASS BY WAY OF MEDITATION ON THE PASSION.
The Priest begins Mass,
Son of the living God, who, being in prayer, wouldst be comforted by an angel, grant me, by the virtue of Thy prayer, that when I pray Thy holy angel may assist and comfort me. Amen.
Confiteor.
Lord Jesus Christ, who, praying in the garden unto Thy heavenly Father, being in agony, didst miraculously sweat blood from all Thy members; grant that by the remembrance of Thy bitter passion, I may shed tears of sincere repentance now in Thy presence. Amen.
The Priest kisses the Altar.
Lord Jesus Christ, who sufferedst Judas to betray Thee with a kiss; grant that I may never betray Thee in my neighbour or myself; nor ever return evil to my enemies, but the good offices of charity. Amen.
