Sign of the Cross

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

 

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.

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

and at the hour of our death.
