Standard prayers

Apostle's Creed

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker 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 Puncious 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 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 tresspass 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, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

Act of Contrition

Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you -- because of your just punishments -- but most of all, because they offended you, my God, who are all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin, Amen.

or

Oh, my God, I am sorry for all 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 intentd, 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.
