PRAYERS~

WE ALL NEED TO KNOW

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 our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us;

Lead us not into temptation,

And deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee;

Blessed are 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.

Guardian Angel

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom God’s love entrusts thee here.

Ever this day stay at my side

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Act of Contrition

Oh my God I am sorry for all my sins,

because they displease you,

who are all-good and deserving

of all my love.

With your help, I will sin no more.

Amen.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, mother of mercy,

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

The blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Prayer to St. Michael

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;

Be our defense against

The wicked snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;

And do you, O prince of the heavenly host,

By the power of God, thrust into hell Satan

And the other evil spirits who prowl

About the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful

And enkindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created,

And you shall renew the face of the earth.

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 sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and life everlasting. Amen.

Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn;

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for

righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart,

for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of

righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
