SIGN OF THE CROSS
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
THE 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 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 in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and for give those who sin 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 among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. 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 this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the fruit of your womb, Jesus! O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us O holy Mother of God, that we be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and bring all souls into heaven, especially those who need most of your mercy.
