The Sign of the Cross

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen.

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into Hell; on 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 again 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.

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ, et in Iesum Christum, Fílium eius únicum, Dóminum nostrum, qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus; descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis; inde ventúrus est iudicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

Our Father for the Pope

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.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum, fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie, et dimítte nobis débita nostra sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem, sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.

Thou fled through the night to avoid the devil’s wicked designs; now with the power of God, smite the demons as they flee from thee! Grant special protection, we pray, for children, fathers, mothers, families, and the dying. By God’s grace, no demon dares approach while thou art near, so we beg of thee, Saint Joseph, always be near to us! Amen.

Saint Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us.

Sancte Ioseph, Terror dæmonum, diabolum et omnes adsignatos ejus solempniter intuere, et tu baculo forti tuere nos. Per noctem fugisti vitare diaboli consilia ; nunc virtute Dei, percutite dæmónes fugientes a te. Speciali protectione concede, quæsumus, filiis, patribus, matribus, familiis, et morientibus. Per Dei gratiam nullus dæmon accedere audet, dum tu ades ; ideo rogamus te, Sancte Ioseph, semper propinqua nobis! Amen.

Sancte Ioseph, Terror dæmónum, ora pro nobis.

An Act of Petition

ADORABLE Saviour, "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and all the fulness of the Godhead dwelleth corporally", consider my many wants, and grant me those graces which Thou knowest I stand in need of to do Thy will in all things. Thou knowest my weakness and the necessity which I endure; in how great evils and vices I am immersed; how often I am oppressed, tempted, troubled and defiled. To Thee I come for remedy. I pray to Thee for comfort and succour. I speak to Him that knows all things; to whom all that is within me is manifest, and who alone can perfectly comfort and help me. Thou knowest what good things I stand most in need of, and how poor I am in virtues. Behold, I stand before Thee, poor and naked, begging Thy grace, and imploring Thy mercy. Feed Thy hungry suppliant; inflame my coldness with the fire of Thy love: enlighten my blindness with the brightness of Thy presence.

End of Rosary Prayer

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 of 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.

Déus, cújus Unigénitus per vítam, mortem, et resurrectiónem Súam nóbis salútis ætérnæ præmia comparávit: concéde, quæsumus: ut hæc mystéria sacratíssimo beátæ Maríæ Vírginis Rosário recoléntes, et imitémur quod cóntinent, et quod promíttunt, assequámur, per eúndem Chrístum Dóminum nóstrum. Amen.

And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Et fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace. Amen.

Benedicat nos omnipotens Deus,
Pater, et Filius, et Spiritus Sanctus.

May almighty God bless us, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
