THE LORDS PRAYER

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

            and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

 

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 <them> 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.

CREDO / THE CREED

 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth, of all that that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

            Eeternally begotten of the Father,

                        God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

                        Begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.

 

Through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven:

By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

            He suffered, died, and was buried.

            On the third day He rose again in fulfilment of the Scriptures;

            He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

            And His kingdom will have no end.

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

            Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

            With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified.

            He has spoken through the Prophets.

            We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

            We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

            We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE APOSTLES’ 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 again in glory 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.
