Basic Catholic Prayer

 

Mary Mother of God

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 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 for our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amin.

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, a world without end. Amen.

 

Apostles’ Creed

I believed 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 and is seated at the right hand of the Father; 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

L: The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

R:  And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. (Hail Mary …)

L: Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R: Be it done unto me according to thy word. (Hail Mary ….)

L: And the Word was made of flesh.

R. And dwelt among us. (Hail Mary …)

L: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

L: Let us pray:

R: Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearth; that, 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.
