Prayer & Faith

Prayer & Resources

“Pray constantly” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). A small treasury of the Church’s prayers and trusted sources for growing in faith.

Prayers of the Church

The Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The 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 Hail Mary

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

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.

Prayers in local languages may be added once approved translations are supplied by the parish.

The Holy Rosary

The Rosary is a meditation on the life of Christ with Mary. Begin with the Sign of the Cross and the Apostles’ Creed, then pray an Our Father, three Hail Marys and a Glory Be. For each of the five mysteries, announce the mystery and pray one Our Father, ten Hail Marys and a Glory Be. Close with the Hail, Holy Queen.
