Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy! Our life, our
sweetness, and our hope! To you we cry, poor banished children of
Eve; to
you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this
valley of tears. Turn then, O 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! Amen.
Morning Offering
Note: Before saying the morning offering, establish a special intention
that will be referred to at the end of the prayer.
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer
You all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day. For
all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart. In union with the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass throughout the world. In reparation for all my sins.
For the intentions of us all associated with Holy Family Catholic School,
and, in particular, for our special intention of this day.
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven
and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was
conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose
again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of
Father. He will 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.

Act of Contrition
Oh my God, I am sorry for my sins. In choosing
to sin and failing to do good, I have sinned against You and Your church.
I
firmly intend, with the help of Your Son, to make up
for my sins and to love as I should. Amen.
Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker
of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of
God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from
Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one
in Being with the Father. Through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven:
By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin
Mary, and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he
suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in
fulfillment of the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again
in
glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom
will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of
life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and
the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has
spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and
apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for
the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and
the life of the world to come. Amen.
