What has been lost in rigour has been made up in other respects, however. Extra prayers are prescribed in addition to the three rosaries. These prayers are indicated in leaflets which can be purchased at the shrine. They include the Apostle's Creed, a number of Aves, a visit to the Church and the Stations of the Cross, with a special prayer to St. Michael.
The following prayer, one of those recited after Mass, may be said:—
