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 Pilate, was crucified, died
and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from
the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated 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.

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, 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
you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our
sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn then, most
gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O
sweet Virgin Mary!
V: Pray for us, 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 we who meditate on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary
of the blessed Virgin Mary, may both imitate what they contain and obtain
what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
