Following
are common prayers--often said daily:
Apostle's
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; 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 the life everlasting.
Amen.

our Father, in baptism you called us

your people, the Church.

we thank you for your gifts.
Father, bless your Church with love.
Raise up dedicated and generous leaders
from our families and from our friends who
will serve as sisters, priests and brothers.
Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen
those you are calling to serve
your people, following the example of
your Son, Jesus Christ,
in whose name we offer this prayer.
Amen.

Memorare
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother.
To thee I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful,
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Attributed
to St. Bernard of Clairvaux

now and at the
hour of our death.

of God,
my Guardian dear,

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 leave us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
