Let us pray...

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen...
The 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 decended into hell.
On the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven and is seated
at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty,
from whence 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...

The 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...

Three Hail Mary's

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou, among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (in Whom we have faith) Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen...

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...

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy...

The Agony in the Garden at Gethsamane


"Jesus knelt down and prayed. "Father," he said, "if you will take this cup of suffering away from me. Not my will, however, but Your will be done." An angel from Heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him. "In great anguish He prayed even more fervently; his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground." (Luke 22; 41-44)

Hail Holy Queen, our 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 thee then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary...

Pray for us, O loving mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ...

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of

the Holy Spirit.

Amen...
