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, and 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.
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, 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
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.
