The
Lords Prayer
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 in the hour of our death.
Amen. |
The
Creed
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, of one Being
with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for
our salvation he came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy
Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered
death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance
with the Scriptures. He ascended in 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 worshiped
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. |

Prayer for Lent
Dear Lord, we are now
in the holy season of Lent. We begin to realize anew that these
are the days of salvation, these are the acceptable days. We know
that we are all sinners. We know that in many things we have all
offended Your infinite majesty. We know that sin destroys Your life
in us as a drought withers the leaves and chokes the life from the
land, leaving an arid, dusty desert. Help us now, Lord, in our feeble
attempts to make up for past sin. Bless our efforts with the rich
blessing of Your grace. Make us realize ever more our need of penance
and of mortification. Help us to see, in our ordinary difficulties
and duties, in the trials and temptations of every day, the best
opportunity of making up for past infidelities. Every day we are
so often reminded in field and wood, in sky and stream, of Your
own boundless generosity to us. Help us to realize that You are
never outdone in generosity, and that the least thing we do for
You will be rewarded, full measure, pressed down, shaken together,
and flowing over. Then we shall see, in our own souls, how the desert
can blossom, and the dry and wasted land can bring forth the rich,
useful fruit that was expected of it from the beginning. Amen.
