    Prayers

    Come Holy Spirit
    Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
    and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
    Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created 
    and You will renew the face of the earth.
    Lord, by the light of your Holy Spirit, 
    You have taught the hearts of your faithful.
    In that same Spirit, help us to relish what is right
    and always rejoice in your consolation.
    We ask this through Christ our Lord.
    Amen.

    Act of Contrition
    O 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.
    
    
    
    
    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 at the 
    hour of our death.
    Amen.
    
    
    
    
    
    Our Father
    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.
    
    
    
    
    Angel of God 
    Angel of God, My Guardian Dear
    To whom God's love commits me here.
    Ever this day, be at my side.
    To light, to guard, to rule, to guide.
    Amen 
    
    
    
    
    The Angelus 
    The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
    And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
    Hail Mary...
    
    Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
    Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
    Hail Mary...
    
    And the Word was made flesh.
    And dwelt among us.
    Hail Mary...
    
    Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
    That we may be made worth of the promises of Christ.
    
    Let us pray...
    Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, 
    Thy grace into our hearts.  
    That we to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy 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 that same Christ our Lord. 
    Amen
    
    
    
    
    
    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 valley of tears.  Turn 
    then, O most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and 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.
