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, died, and was 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.
Adoration
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.

The Angelus
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, etc.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Your Word.
Hail Mary, etc.
V. And the word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, etc.
V. Pray for us O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord, Your Grace into our hearts; that as we
have known the incarnation of Christ, your Son by the message of an angel,
so by His passion and cross we may be brought to the glory of His
Resurrection. Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

The Salve Regina
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
Hail 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,
mouning and weeping in this vale
of tears!
Turn then, 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!
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary
that never was it know that anyone
who fled to your protection, implored
your help, or sought your inter-
cession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to
you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother.
To you I come; before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise
not my petitions, but in your mercy,
hear and answer me. Amen.

Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God
my Savior;
Because He has regarded the
lowliness of His handmaid;
for, behold, henceforth all
generations shall call me
blessed;
Because, He who is mighty has
done great things for me,
and holy is His name;
And His mercy is from generation
to generation on those who fear
Him.
He has shown might with His arm,
He has scattered the proud in
the conceit of their heart.
He has put down the mighty from
their thrones, and has exalted
the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with
good things,
and the rich He has sent away
empty.
He has given help to Isreal, His
servant, mindful of His mercy -
Even as He spoke to our fathers -
to Abraham and to His
posterity forever.

Knights' and Ladies' Prayer
O Lord Jesus Christ, for Your five wounds
that we carry on our insignis
we pary to You
Give us the strength to love all whom
your Father has created
and, more so, our enemies.
Free our sould and heart
from sin, from partiality, from egoism and from cowardice
so that wecan be worthy of Your sacrifice.
Let Your Spirit fall upon us all,
the Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre,
so that it may render us as convinced
and sincere ambassadors of peace and love
among our brothers and sisters and, especially,
among all those who think they do not believe in You.
Give us Faith
to face all the problems of everyday life
and to deserve, one day, to approach,
humbly but without fear,
Your presence
Amen.
