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 are 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.

Apostle 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, sitteth 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.

The Angelus
Traditionally, the Angelus is said at 6am, 12noon, and 6pm.

V- The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R- And she was conceived of the Holy Spirit.
(Hail Mary....)

V- Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R- Be it done unto me according to Thy Word.
(Hail Mary....)

V- And the Word was made flesh.
R- And dwelt among us.
(Hail Mary....)

V- Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R- That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

LET US PRAY: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; 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.

Regina Coeli

(Said during Eastertide instead of the Angelus)

Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
For He whom you merited to bear, alleluia.
Has risen as He said, alleluia.

V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. Because the Lord is truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray. O God, Who by the Resurrection of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, granted joy to the whole world, grant, we beg You, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may attain the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Salve Regina

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy.

hail, 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 vale of tears!

Turn then, 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!

Litany of Humility

by Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val (1865-1930)

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being loved...
From the desire of being extolled ...
From the desire of being honored ...
From the desire of being praised ...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted ...
From the desire of being approved ...
From the fear of being humiliated ...
From the fear of being despised...
From the fear of suffering rebukes ...
From the fear of being calumniated ...
From the fear of being forgotten ...
From the fear of being ridiculed ...
From the fear of being wronged ...
From the fear of being suspected ...

That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I ...
That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed ...
That others may be preferred to me in
everything...
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels Forever and ever
Amen.

I Confess

I confess to Almighty God, and to you,
my brothers and sisters that I have sinned through my own fault,
in my thoughts and in my words in what I have done,
and in what I failed to do:
and I ask Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and saints,
and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God,
in three divine person: 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.
I believe these and all the truths which the
Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them,
who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope

O my God, relying on your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of your grace and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Charity

O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbour as myself, for the love of you. I forgive all who have offended me, and I ask pardon of all whom I have offended.

The 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.

Act of Love

O MY God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbour as myself for the love of You. I forgive all those who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Act of Dedication of the human race to Jesus Christ King

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before You. We are Yours, and Yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with You, behold, each one of us freely consecrates himself today to Your Most Sacred Heart.

Many indeed have never known You; many, too, despising Your precepts, have rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Your Sacred Heart.

Be King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken You, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned You; grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house, lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.

Be King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.

Grant, O Lord, to Your Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give tranquility of order to all nations; make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honor for ever. Amen.

(A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who piously recite the above Act of Dedication of the Human Race to Jesus Christ King. A plenary indulgence is granted, if it is recited publicly on the feast of our Lord Jesus Christ King.)
