The Apostles' Creed

         I believe in God, the FATHER Almighty, the 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven, Holy be Your Name,  Your kingdom come,  Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread, / forgive us our sins,/ as we forgive those who sins against us.  Do not bring us to the test / but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with You; Blessed are You amongst 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

        The following are optional prayers and/or need basis:

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, 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 your mercy hear and answer me. Amen

HOLIEST Virgin, with all my heart I praise you above all the angels and saints in paradise as the Daughter of the Eternal Father, and to you I consecrate my soul and all its powers.

Holiest Virgin, with all my heart, I praise you above all the angels and saints in paradise as the Mother of the only-begotten Son, and to you I consecrate my body with all its senses.

Hail Mary. . . . .

Holiest Virgin, with all my heart I praise you above all the angels and saints in paradise as the Bride of the Holy Spirit, and to you I consecrate my heart and all its affections, praying you to obtain for me from the Ever-Blessed Trinity all the graces which I need for my salvation.

Hail Mary. . . . .

GRANT we beg You, O Lord God, that we, your servants may rejoice in continual health of mind and body; and through the glorious intercession of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, be freed from present sorrow and enjoy eternal gladness. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

HOLY Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, accept this Holy Rosary which I offer you, to show my love for you and my firm confidence in your powerful intercession. I offer it as an act of faith in the mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption, as an act of thanksgiving to God for all his love for me and all mankind; as an act of atonement for the sins of the world especially my own; as an act of petition to God through your intercession for all the needs of God’s people on earth, but especially for this earnest request.
