Basic
Catholic Prayers
O my God, I am
heartily sorry for having offended You and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss
of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are
all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to
confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.
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 of the Father. He will come again 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

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, O most gracious Advocate,
Thine eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Hail Mary
Full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen

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.
Our Father,
Who art in heaven, hollowed 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 lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
St. Michael, the
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, thrust into Hell Satan
and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
In the name of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen.

How to Pray the
Rosary
You begin the
rosary by making the Sign of the Cross and saying the Apostles
Creed and then an Our
Father for the Holy Father's intentions, Three Hail Mary's for an increase
in the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity (love) followed by a Glory Be.
Depending on the
Day (see the Mysteries of the Day), begin the first decade of the Rosary by saying an Our Father. While
meditating on the first mystery (Ex: The Resurrection of Christ), say ten Hail Mary's and a Glory Be.
At the end of each decade some people will say the Fatima Prayer (O My
Jesus.....). You then move on to the second decade of the Rosary and repeat the
steps by saying 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's, and 1 Glory Be.
At the End of the
Rosary close by saying the Hail Holy Queen.
