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 arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; 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.

An Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three Divine Persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I believe that Your Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, we fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother; to you we come; before you we kneel, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer them.
Amen.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you 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 blessed Fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, pray for us O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Prayer to Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph, you are the chaste and loving spouse of the Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, the protector and provider of the Holy Family and all families.
We have complete confidence in you loving care for new life and in your fidelity to the family.
We commend our efforts to your prayers and protection.
Help us always to defend the gift of human life that it may grow to the abundance of eternal life promised and bestowed on us by your son our brother, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

Behold, my beloved and good Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Your sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech You to impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins and a most firm desire of amendment; while with deep affection and grief of soul I consider within myself and mentally contemplate Your five most precious wounds, having before my eyes that which David, the prophet, long ago spoke about you, my Jesus:
They have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. (Psalm 22:17-18)

Prayer to Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of you peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
Divine Master, 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.

O My Jesus

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