The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into
to hell; the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at
the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living
and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
The first Our Father and three Hail Marys are for Faith, Hope, Charity.
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.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, Full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among 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.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we
cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards
us; and after this exile, show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus: O clement, O
loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of
the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray. O God, whose only begotten Son by his life, death, and resurrection
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech You, that by
meditating upon these mysteries in the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may
imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
