Basic Catholic Prayers
Sign
of
the Cross
In
the name
of
the Father, and
of
the Son, and
of
the Holy Spirit. 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
trespass 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.
Apostles' Creed
I believe
in
God, the Father almighty, creator
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 Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he
ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand
of
the Father; 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.
Memorare
Remember, 0 most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was
it
known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or
sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we turn to
thee, 0 Virgin
of
virgins, our Mother.
To
thee we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. 0
Mother
of
the Word Incarnate, do not despise
our
petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen.
The
Angelus
The angel
of
the Lord declared unto Mary.
R.
And she conceived
of
the Holy Spirit. (Hail Mary
...
)
Behold the handmaid
of
the Lord.
R.
Be it done unto me according to thy word. (Hail Mary
...
) And the
Word was made flesh.
R.
And dwelt among us. (Hail Mary
...
) Pray for us, 0 holy Mother
of
God. R.
That we may be made worthy
of
the promises
of
Christ. Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech thee, 0 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.
