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.
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.
Amen.

living and reigning now and forever.

Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty
Creator of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
(Bow head up to the words "Virgin Mary")
who was conceived by 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.
St. Michael Prayer
St. Michael, the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness
and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world
for the ruin of souls.
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 will renew the face of the earth.
Let us Pray.
Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit
you have taught the hearts of your faithful.
In the same Spirit, help us to relish what is
right and always rejoice in your
consolation. We ask this through Christ,
our Lord.
Amen.
The Angelus
The angel spoke God's message to Mary,
and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail, Mary...
"I am the lowly servant of the Lord:
let it be done to me according to your word"
Hail, Mary...
And the Word became flesh, and lived
among us.
Hail, Mary...
Pray for us, holy Mother of God,
that we may become worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray.
Lord, fill our hearts with your grace:
once through the message of an angel
you revealed to us the incarnation of your Son;
now, through his suffering and death
lead us to the glory of his resurrection.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Vocation Prayer
Lord, show me how to be of service,
in your Church and in the world.
Help me see what you want me to do.
Give me vision, courage, and friends
who encourage me to do your work.
Amen.
The Rosary
We begin praying the Rosary by praying the Apostles Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and three Hail Marys. Each mystery of the Rosary is prayed by praying the Lord's Prayer once, the Hail Mary ten times, and the Doxology once. When we have finished the last mystery, we may pray the Hail, Holy Queen prayer.
