Essential Catholic Prayers

In the name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

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.

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. Amen.

I confess to almighty God,

and to you, my brothers and sisters,

that I have greatly sinned,

in my thoughts and in my words,

in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

through my fault, through my fault,

through my most grievous fault;

therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,

all the Angels and Saints,

and you, my brothers and sisters,

to pray for me to the Lord our God.

O my God, I firmly believe that You 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,

who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.

O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and promises,

I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace,

and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ,

my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

O my God, I love You above all things,

with my whole heart and soul,

because You are all-good and worthy of all love.

I love my neighbor as myself for love of You.

I forgive all who have injured me,

and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You,

and I detest all my sins because of Your just punishments,

but most of all because they offend You, my God,

who are all-good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,

to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
