Sign of the
Cross
In the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our
death. Amen.
Glory
Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
Act of
Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against
you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to
avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God,
have mercy.
Nicene Creed
We believe in
God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is
seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally
begotten of the Father.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, Begotten not
made, one in being with the Father.
Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he
came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and
became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, died,
and was buried.
On the third day he arose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his
kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds
from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has
spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one
baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to
come. Amen.
Prayer to the
Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them
the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth. Lord, by the light of the
Holy Spirit, you have taught the hearts of the faithful. In the same
Sprit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your
consolation. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
