OUR FATHER

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

THE BEATITUDES

* Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

* Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted

* Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness,

for they shall have their fill

* Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy

* Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God

* Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake,

for the reign of God is theirs

THE PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst 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.
