 IN the name of the Father, f and of the 
 Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 
 
 I BELIEVE m God, the Father Almighty, 
 Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus 
 Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was 
 conceived by the Holy Ghost, 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, 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 Ghost, 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, hal- 
 lowed 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 for- 
 give 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. 
 
 The Doxology 
 
 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, 
 and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the 
 beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world 
 without end. Amen. 
 
 Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! our 
 life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee 
 do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; 
 to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning 
 and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, 
 then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of 
 mercy toward us; and after this our exile 
 show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, 
 Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin 
 Mary. 
 
 V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. 
 R. That we may be made worthy of the 
 promises of Christ. 
 
 O God, whose only begotten Son, by His 
 life, death, and resurrection has purchased 
 for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we 
 beseech Thee, that meditating upon these 
 mysteries in the most holy Rosary of the 
 Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what 
 they contain, and obtain what they promise: 
 through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
