Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
     Creator of heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
     and born of the Virgin Mary,

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
     was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day He rose again.

He ascended into heaven
     and is seated at the right hand of the Father,
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

We believe in one God,
    the Father, the Almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
    the only son of God,
    eternally begotten of the Father,
    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,
    begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.
    Through Him all things were made.
    For us men and for our salvation
    He came down from heaven:
    by the power of the Holy Spirit
    He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
    He suffered, died and was buried.
    On the third day He rose again
    in fulfillment of 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.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son, He is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. 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 thine 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.

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, O most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us; and
after this our exile show unto us the
blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

      Pray for us, O holy Mother of God

      That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
