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 Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. 
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; 
He ascended into Heaven, and 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.

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.

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because of Your just punishments, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who is all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail, 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 toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!


Pray for us, O holy Mother of God

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, heal me;
Blood of Christ, drench me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesus, hear me;
Within your wounds, shelter me;
From turning away, keep me;
From the evil one, protect me;
At the hour of my death, call me;

Into your presence, lead me,
to praise you with all your saints,

forever and ever.

Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle, be our defence against the wickedness and the snares of the devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince heavenly host,
By the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruins of souls.
Amen.
