Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: (All bow at the following words up to: and became man.) by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, And his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the LORD is with thee, blessed are you amoung all women and blessed is the fruit of your whomb, Jesus, Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death. Amen

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Guardian Angel Prayer Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. AMEN. Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; when there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is dispair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand, to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen Angelus The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary... Behold the handmaid of the Lord Be it done unto me according to thy word. Hail Mary... And the Word was made Flesh. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary... Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Hail Mary... Let Us Pray Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that, we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, Was made known by the message of an Angel, May by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Act of Contrition O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you.
