PRAYERS

TO BE MEMORIZED

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine persons,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I believe that your divine Son became man

and died for our sins,

and that he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches,

because you revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.


Act of Hope

O my God, relying on your almighty power

and infinite mercy and promises,

I hope to obtain pardon of my sins,

the help of your grace,

and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ,

my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.


Act of Love

O my God, I love you above all things,

with my whole heart and soul,

because you are all good and worthy of all my love.

I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you.

I forgive all who have injured me and

I ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that anyone who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help,

or sought thy intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence

I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To thee do I come,

before thee I stand,

sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen
