1. Say the Creed.

The Apostles’ Creed: I
believe in God, the Father
Almighty, Creator of Heaven and
earth. And in Jesus Christ His
only Son Our Lord, Who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost,
horn of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was cruci-
fied, died and was buried. He
descended into Hell: the third
day He arose again from the
dead. He ascended into Heaven,
sitteth at the right hand of God,
the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the living
and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body and life everlasting. Amen.

2. Say the Our Father.

Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will he done on earth as it is in
Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespass-
es, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

3. Say three Hail Marys.

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.

4. Say the Glory be to the
Father.

The Glory be: Glory be to
the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in
the beginning is now and ever
shall be world without end.
Amen.

5. Announce the Mystery,
then say the Our Father.

Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will he done on earth as it is in
Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespass-
es, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

6. Say ten Hail Marys
while meditating on the
Mystery.

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.

the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in
the beginning is now and ever
shall be world without end.

Save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to Heaven, and
help especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

cluding prayer.

The Hail Holy Queen: Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our
life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry; poor banished chil-

in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of
mercy towards us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb, Jesus. 0 clement, 0 loving, 0 sweet
