PRAYERS AFTER MASS.

Decebtum Uebis bt Orbis. (London Tablet's Translation.) Feom the year 1859 Pope Pins IX., of holy memory, prescribed that in all the churches of the Papal States, certain prayera, to which he added indulgences, should be recited after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in order to obtain the help of God needful in times of such difficulty and trial. And as the Catholic Church, surrounded by evils that are always grave, and which threaten eminently to become yet more grave, has so great a need of the special protection of God our most holy Lord Pope Leo XIII. has thought fit that these prayers' slightly altered ia parts, should be recited throughout the whole world. That the prayer, in common of united Christendom, may implore from God that which concerns the good in common of Christianity, and that by an increase in the number of petitioners, the benefits of the Divine Mercy may be more easily obtained. Wherefore, by this present Decroe of the Sacred Congregation ot Kites, His Holiness has commanded that for the future, in all churches of the City and of the Catholic world, the prayers that follow below enriched with an indulgence of 300 days, shall be recited, kneeling at the end of each Mass without music :— [Itaque Snnotitas Simper praesens Saororwn Rituuni Cangregcttionvi Dec return mandavit, ut in posterum in omnibus tuvt Urbis turn Catholici orbis JSaclesiis preces infra seriptae, ter centum dterum Indulgentia lociipletatae, in fine cujusqite Missm sine cantu celebratae, fiexis genibm recitentur, nimirum ;] " Ter Aye Maria, etc. Delude dicitur semel Salve Regina, etc. et in fine : Q.
