Prayer of St. Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And do thou, O' Prince of Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, Cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom Come,

Thy will be done

On earth and 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

Apostle's 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 arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, 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 forgiveness of Sins, The Resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen

Hail Mary

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Glory Be

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.
