​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.

daily bread

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.

and at the hour of our death.
Amen.


ACT OF CONTRITION
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.


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;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will 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.

NICENE CREED
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, 
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,  
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with 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.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
Saint Michael Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against
the wickedness and snares
of the devil;
may God rebuke him,
we humbly pray; 
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly host,
​by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and
all the evil spirits who prowl
through the world
​ seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen
ACT OF CONTRITION  (Traditional Version)
Oh My God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins
because of Thy just punishment. 
But most of all, I offend Thee, my God, 
who art all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, 
to sin no more,
and to avoid the near occasion of sin.
Amen.
Pope Francis has given us the Five Finger Prayer.  It helps us to remember to pray for others in addition to ourselves.  Follow along with this picture:
Matthew Kelly has developed a prayer process for his Dynamic Catholic Program.  This is a great process for those who are trying to enrich or develop the way they communicate with God.​  It only takes about 15 minutes!  Check it out!
