Roman Catholic Prayers
Sign of the Cross
Touch the forehead, then the chest, then the left
shoulder, then the right shoulder, while saying:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
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.
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.
Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of
heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the power of the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, 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.
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the
fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially
those in most need of thy mercy. Amen.
Prayers of Contrition and Repentance
My God, I am sorry for having offended you and
for having harmed my neighbor. I regret all of my
sins, because I fear the loss of Heaven and the
pains of Hell, but most of all out of love for you,
my Savior, who is perfect in Love and Mercy. I
firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to
confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my
life. Amen.
O God, in your great Mercy and Love, grant that I
may sincerely and thoroughly repent from all my
sins, and humbly and devoutly receive your
forgiveness through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. And grant this same merciful
grace to other poor sinners, especially those most
in need of repentance and forgiveness.
Merciful Jesus, I offer you my little prayers and
sufferings, united with your great prayers and
sufferings on the Cross, for the conversion of
sinners. In your great Mercy and Love for all,
grant that we may sincerely and thoroughly
repent from every sin, and humbly receive your
forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
O God, by your merciful grace, grant that I may
persevere in the one true Roman Catholic Faith
throughout the remainder of my life, no matter
what sufferings and trials may fall upon me.
Lord Jesus Christ, by your merciful prayers and
sufferings and death on the Cross, grant that all
those who have fallen away from the fullness of
faith may repent, confess, do penance and humbly
return to complete faith in every teaching of the
Holy Roman Catholic Church.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on me, a sinner.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who
have recourse to thee.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls.
Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious
blood of your Divine Son Jesus, in union with all
the Masses said throughout the world, for all the
holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the Universal Church, in my home,
and in my family. Amen.

Golden Arrow
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,
most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be
always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and
glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the
earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the
Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the most
holy Sacrament of the altar.
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save
me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the
side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ,
strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within
your wounds, hide me. Permit me never to be
separated from you. From the malicious enemy,
defend me. In the hour of my death, call me, and
bid me come to you, so that I may praise you,
with all your Saints and Angels, forever and ever.
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that
never was it known that anyone who fled to your
protection, implored your help, or sought your
intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your
mercy hear and answer me.
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and
snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we
humbly pray; and may you, O prince of the
heavenly host, by the Divine Power of God, cast
into Hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam
throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Dedication to Christ
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my
memory, my understanding, and my whole will.
All that I am and all that I possess you have given
me. I surrender it all to you to be disposed of
according to your will. Give me only your love
and your grace; with these I will be rich enough,
and will desire nothing more.
How to pray the rosary
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our
sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor
banished children of Eve. To you do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of
tears. Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, your
eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb,
Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may
be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Prayer of Saint Francis
O Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love; where
there is injury, pardon; where there is discord,
unity; where there is doubt, faith; where there is
error, truth; where there is despair, hope; where
there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may
seek: not so much 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.
Act of Love
O my God, I love you with my whole heart and
above all things, because you are infinitely good
and perfect; and in my love for you, I love my
neighbor as myself. Grant that I may love you
more and more in this life, and in the next, for all
eternity.
Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe all the truths that the
Holy Catholic Church believes and teaches; I
believe these truths, O Lord, because you, the
infallible Truth, has revealed them to Her. In this
faith, I am resolved to live and to die.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on your promises, I hope that,
through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, you
will grant me forgiveness from all my sins, and
the graces necessary to serve you in this life and
to obtain eternal happiness in the next.
You may end each prayer with the word: Amen.
