to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day, be at my side,

ACT OF CONTRITION
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.In His name, my God, have mercy. 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; the third day He rose again.
He ascended into Heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty;
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.
PRAYER BEFORE MEALS
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts,
which we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
PRAYER AFTER MEALS
We give you thanks for all your benefits, almighty God,
who lives and reigns forever.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
ACT OF FAITH
O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God
in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins,
and that he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe these and all the truths
which the holy Catholic Church teaches,
because you have revealed them,
who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.
THE SALVE REGINA (Hail, Holy Queen)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; after this our exile, show unto us, the blessed fruit of your 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.
