The 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 power of 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 the
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 the life everlasting. Amen.

Sacred Heart. Amen.

An Act of Contrition

My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all
my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.

Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.

defend us in battle;
be our defense against the weickedness

by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

yours, keep me and guard me as your
child forever. Amen.

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

promises and the infinite merits

obtain eternal life in heaven. Amen.
