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, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth 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 communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen.

Short Act of Faith
My God, I believe in Thee, and all thy Church doth teach, because thou hast said it and Thy word is true.

Short Act of Hope
My God, I hope in Thee for grace and for glory, because of Thy promises, Thy mercy and Thy power.

Short Act of Charity
My God, because Thou art so good, I love Thee with all my heart, and for Thy sake, I love my neighbour as myself.

Short Act of Contrition
O My God, because Thou art so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against Thee,  and I will not sin again.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel
O my good angel, whom God has appointed to be my guardian, enlighten and protect me, direct and govern me during this day. Amen.
