Prayers of the Rosary
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, 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 forgiviness of sins, the resurredion of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed by 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 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
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
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who have most need of your
mercy. Amen
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, 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 then, Most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us;
and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
