The
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin
Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body, and the
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 on into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
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 the vale of
tears;
turn, then, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us,
and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruits of your 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.
