Prayer after Communion...Stay with me Lord, for without Your presence I forget You; You know how easily I abandon You...Stay with me Lord, for without Your strength I fall; You know how weak I am... Stay with me Lord , for without You my fervour fails; You are my life... Stay with me Lord, for without You I am in darkness; Your are my light... Stay with me Lord, and show me Your will...Stay with me Lord, and let me hear your voice...Stay with me Lord, that I may follow You... Stay with me Lord, that I may I love you more... Stay with me Lord, that I may stay with You. If You would have me to be faithful, stay with me Lord...Stay with me Jesus, for though my soul is poor, it desires to be an abode of love for You, a place of consolation... Stay with me Jesus, for it is getting late; the day is ending, life is passing; death, judgement, eternity are coming soon. Now I must muster all my forces so that I do not faint on the road. I have great need of You on this journey. It is getting late and death is approaching. Darkness, temptations, dryness, crosses and troubles beset me, and Oh, how much I need You, my good Jesus, in this night of exile...Stay with me Jesus because this night of life is so full of dangers and I have such need of You. Grant that, like Your disciples, I may recognise You in the breaking of bread. Grant that the Eucharistic union may be the light which casts out the darkness, the force to sustain me and the one means to sanctify my soul...Stay with me Lord because, when death arrives, if I cannot be really with You in holy Communion, then I shall wish to remain united with You at least through grace and love...Stay with me Jesus. I do not ask You for divine consolation because I do not deserve it. But I beg of You with all my strength for the gift of Your most holy presence...Stay with me Lord- You alone I seek; Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit; for I love You. You alone I love. Let me seek no other reward but the increase of that love, that my love may be real and firm and practical. I ask no more than to love You with all my heart and to follow You with all-perfected love for all eternity. Amen

Mary will raise up apostles of the latter times to make war against the evil one.... But the power of Mary over all the devils will especially shine forth in the latter times, when Satan will lay his snares against her heel: that is to say, her humble slaves and poor children, whom she will raise up to make war against him. They shall be little and poor in the world's esteem, and abased before all like the heel, trodden underfoot and persecuted as the heel is by other members of the body. But in return for this they shall be rich in the grace of God, which Mary shall distribute to them abundantly. They shall be great and exalted before God in sanctity, Superior to all creatures by their lively zeal, and so well sustained with God's assistance that, with the humility of their heel, in union with Mary, they shall crush the head of the devil and cause Jesus Christ to triumph. ~St. Louis de Montfort
