The Apostle's 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;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will 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 Lord's Prayer / 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 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.



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 are in most need of Your mercy.
Amen.



Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen,
mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry,
poor banished children of Eve;
to you 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.
Amen.
