Prayers, Sacraments
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; whence 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.
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, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou
among 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
Sacraments
It is difficult to live up to the Commandments of God. To help
us do so, Jesus has given us the Church and the sacraments,
signs instituted by Christ to give grace. The seven sacraments
are:
1. Baptism
2. Reconciliation
3. Holy Eucharist
4. Confirmation
5. Matrimony
6. Holy Orders
7. The Anointing of the Sick
Of the seven sacraments, Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist,
Matrimony and the Anointing of the Sick may be received more
than once. |
