They appear to have distributed a number of prayer leaflets over the decades. I came across the following during my searches. (source)
PRAYER TO MARY
I put my little babe under your protection, Mary my Mother. Make it’s tiny mind grow up to love the truths of the faith; consecrate its will to the service of God; fill its heart with love for its Creator, Fashion its little body in all perfection: let its organs be sound, its senses acute, all its members strong and healthy. You can obtain this favor for me and my child most powerful Mother. I put my trust in you. Amen

Pray for the repose of their souls.
Extraordinary; so good to see what they looked like. I have a prayer card with the Prayer for Daily Neglects on one side and the evening prayer of St. Augustine on the other. It is a true blessing. May their souls RIP I always pray a Hail Mary for their children and grandchildren every time after I pray with the card, per her request.
ReplyDeleteI have a leaflet titled
ReplyDeleteTremendous Value of Holy Mass
at the hour of death, the holy masses you have heard devoutly will be your greatest consolation.
Every Mass will go with you to judgment and will plead for pardon for you.
By every Mass, you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins, more or less, according to your fervour.
by devoutly assisting at Holy Mass, you render the greatest homage possible to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord.
Through the Holy Sacrifice, our Lord Jesus Christ supplies for many of your negligence and omissions. He forgives you all the sins which you are determined to avoid. He forgives you all your unknown sins, which you never confessed. The power of Satan over you is diminished.
Piously hearing holy mass, you afford the souls in purgatory the greatest possible relief.
One holy mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.
Through holy mass, you are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes, which would otherwise have be fallen you. You shorten your purgatory by every mass.
During holy mass you kneel with a multitude of holy angels, who are present at the adorable sacrifice with Reverential awe.
Through holy mass, you are blessed in your temporary goods and affairs
when you hear Holy mass devoutly offering to Almighty God in honor of any particular St or Angelle thanking God for the favors bestowed on him, etc., etc. you afford that St or Angelle a new degree of honor, joy and happiness and draw his special love and protection on yourself. Every time you assist at Holy mass besides other intentions, you should offer it in honor of the saint of the day.
this leaflet was found in a copy of “my Catholic faith“ a catechism that I ordered so that my adult son could learn the true catechism that was not taught to him in the post Vatican to church claiming to be Catholic. I will pray for the Forans foreign family.
this leaflet will be a tremendous help to me and my family. God bless and Mary keep you.
