Singing in the Night

I was once asked on an irc channel what was the most "metal" catholic prayer i know was "metal" as an adjective has no fixed meaning. But these come to mind.

Oh Saving Victim

O Saving Victim, Open wide The Gates of Heaven to us Below Though Foes surround me on every side Thine Aide Supply Thy Grace Bestow

To thy great name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead, One in Three. Oh, grant us endless length of days, In our true native land with thee. Amen.

Preface for Our Lady of Good Counsel

It is truly right and just. our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord.

How generously you poured out the gifts of your Holy Spirit upon the Blessed Virgin Mary to make her worthy to be the Mother and companion of the Redeemer.

Enlightened by these gifts, she sought your will unceasingly and obeyed it with fidelity. In her canticle of joy she proclaimed the greatness of your mercy and gave herself wholeheartedly to your wise and loving plan for renewing all things in Christ.

Through him the Angels of heaven offer their prayer of adoration as they rejoice in your presence for ever. May our voices be one with theirs in their triumphant hymn of praise:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

St Francis Prayer before the Crucifix

“Most High glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart. Give me right faith, sure hope and perfect charity. Fill me with understanding and knowledge that I may fulfill your command.”
