Common, Every Day, Prayers:
                           


The Lord's Prayer.

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. 



The Angelical Salutation.

Hail Mary, full of grace! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou
amongst 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. 



The 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
Ghost the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen. 



The Confiteor.

I confess to Almighty God, to blessed Mary, ever Virgin, to blessed
Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy
Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned
exceedingly in thought, word and deed, through, my fault, through my
fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I beseech blessed
Mary, ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the
Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, to pray
to the Lord our God for me. 

May the Almighty God have mercy on me, and forgive me my sins,
and bring me to everlasting life. Amen. 

May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant me pardon, absolution, and
remission of all my sins. Amen. 



An Act of Faith.

O my God! I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine
persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy 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 and Apostolic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed
them, who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.



An Act of Hope.

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



An Act of Love.

O my God! I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul,
because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor
as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and
ask pardon of all whom I have injured. 



An Act of Contrition.

O my God! I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, 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 Thee, my God, who art all-good
and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy
grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. 



The Blessing before Meals.

Bless us, O Lord! and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen. 



Grace after Meals.

  We give Thee thanks for all Thy benefits, O Almighty God, who
livest and reignest for ever; and may the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen. 



The TRISAGION

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One; Have mercy upon
us.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One; Have mercy upon
us.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One; Have mercy upon
us.



The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, The Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth; And of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord, Jesus
Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; begotten of His Father before
all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom
all things were made; Who, for us men and for our salvation, came
down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin
Mary, and was made man.  And was crucified also for us under
Pontius Pilate.  He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose
again according to the Scriptures;  and ascended into heaven, and
sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with
glory, to judge both the quick and the dead;  Whose kingdom shall
have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, Who
proceedeth from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son
together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the prophets. 
And I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I
acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;  and I look for the
resurrection of the dead; and the life of the world to come.  Amen.
