In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe 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 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 life everlasting. Amen.

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 lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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 death. Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Fatima Prayer *

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls into heaven, especially those most in need of Your mercy. Amen. (* Optional – to be said at the end of each decade)

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.

 

O God of Mercy, we beg You now to protect in a special way those who are fighting for us and for the country we love.  Bless them and take care of them.  If they are tired, give them strength.  If they are wounded and suffering, give them comfort.  If they are lonely, touch them with Your gentle hand that lets them know that You are near them. And if it be Your holy will that they should give up their lives for us, grant them a peaceful death and a home with You in Heaven. Hasten the day, dear Lord, when we may all enjoy the blessings of peace once more. Amen.

 

Blessed Mother, pray for them...          St. Joseph, pray for them...           St. Benedict, pray for them.
