THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
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; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and 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 Life Everlasting.
Amen.
GLORY BE TO THE FATHER
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, world without end.
Amen.
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.
O MY JESUS
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy.
Amen.
“At Fatima, Our Lady requested this prayer be said at the end of each decade”
HAIL HOLY QUEEN
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail 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, 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.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.CONCLUDING PRAYER OF THE ROSARY
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of Eternal Life; grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating upon these Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
PRAYERS
The Memorare
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known in any age, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was abandoned.
Inspired with confidence, therefore, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful; do not, O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise my prayers, but graciously hear and grant them.
Amen.
Short Exorcism (Pope Leo XIII)
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day of 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, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits, who roam through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
