Common Prayers

MORNING PRAYERS

Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.

Angelus
The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary: And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, etc
Behold the handmaid of the Lord:

Be it done to me according to your World

Hail Mary, etc
And the Word was made flesh

And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary, etc
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

Let us pray
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of
Christ, your Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought
to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer to our guardian angel

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love entrust me here, ever this day, be at my side to
light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

I adore you, my God, and I love you with all my heart. I thank you for having created me, made me a
Christian, and kept me this night.
I offer you my actions of this day, grant that they all may be according to your holy will and for your
greater glory. Keep me from sin and all evil.
May your grace be always with me and with all my dear ones. 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 temptations, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail 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.

I believe / 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 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.

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 this and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches because you have
revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith
I intend to live and die. Amen.

Act of Hope
O my God, relying on your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, by the
help of your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Lord,
grant me to be with you forever. Amen.

Act of Charity
O Lord God, I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because you are all good and
worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself, for the love of you. I forgive all who have offended
me and I ask pardon of all whom I have offended. Lord, grant that I may love you more. Amen.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins, because of your just
punishments, 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 sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of
sin. Amen

Memorare
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, never was it heard, that anyone who turned to you for help was
left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, though burdened by my sins, I run to your protection for you
are my mother, mother of the word of God, do not despise my words of pleading but be merciful and
hear my prayer. Amen
