the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come 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 life everlasting. Amen.

answer me. Amen.

Lorica of Saint Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,

God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

The Virgin Mary
One aspect of our Faith, that is perhaps the most misunderstood, is the devotional practices we hold, in regard to the Blessed Mother. First, it must be realized that we do not pray to Mary, we only pray to God. However, we do ask Mary to pray for us, the same way we ask our brothers and sisters for their prayers, and since Mary is the first to receive the gifts her Son, Jesus Christ, has bestowed upon us through His Passion, Death and Resurrection, she is in a unique position to pray before our Lord. It should be remembered that Mary never points to herself, but always directs our gaze toward her Son.
Because no one living has had such a unique connection to Jesus Christ, and since she is the first of our race to receive the fullness of the Resurrection, we believe that she holds a special place as Queen of Heaven.
“I am an Irishman, I kneel before no earthly king, I bow before no earthly queen.”

The Lord’s Prayer
Many have written about The Lord’s Prayer/ The Our Father, possibly
none better than St. Cyprian, but often we ourselves rush through it
without thinking about what we are saying. First, this is the prayer
given to us by Jesus Himself, and as such there is no prayer more
perfect. The fact that Jesus has given us the gift of being allowed to
call God our Father, something no Jewish rabbi would have dared to
do, means that we enter into a unique relationship. We respect who
God is, and recognize that everything about Him is Holy, including
His name. There is a desire expressed that our world, our lives should
be in harmony with His desires; what the Jews call Shalom is not just
peace, but a wish that everything should be as God had intended it to
be from the beginning. What we need for the day, for our existence is
a gift from God, and we acknowledge that what He gives us is
sufficient. Those evil things that we have done to others, and the
things that have been done to us are offences against God, and we
need to find forgiveness from Him, and recognize our own need to
place our own desire for justice in His hands. Ultimately, we
recognize our own need for His grace and strength in our lives, that all
good comes from Him.

Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them
the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the
light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise,
and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium: et tui amoris in eis
ignem accende.
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum, et creabuntur.
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
Oremus. Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione
docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere; et de eius semper
consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen. 16
The Seven Sacraments
Baptism – In this Sacrament we become members of the Church, we enter into the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the stain of Original Sin is washed away.
Confirmation – In this Sacrament we are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude (or courage), knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord) and are strengthened in our Christian life.
The Eucharist – The Source and Summit of our Faith; the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, under the appearance of bread and wine. Our lives as Christians bring us around the altar to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, and in turn we become the presence of Jesus Christ in the world.
Penance – Through the recognition and confession of our sins we are made ready to receive the gift of forgiveness from Christ. Our souls are returned to the purity they knew at baptism.
The Anointing of the Sick – The remission of our sins and the strengthening for body and soul, in preparation for surgery or as we ask for healing.
Holy Orders – The ordination of men as deacons, priests or bishops.
Matrimony - Between a man and woman, this Sacrament is symbolic of the self-giving love that Christ, the Bride-groom, has for His Church, the Bride.
“The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.” Catechism of the Catholic Church 1210 29
“I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins”
This is a statement of our belief that there is only one Baptism, which
is a Baptism into the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. As
Catholics we recognize the legitimacy of the Baptism of those non-
Catholic Christians, who have been Baptized with water, “in the
Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
“and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the
world to come.”
We believe that the Second Coming of Christ will usher in a new
world: “an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will
hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to
a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a
resurrection of judgment.” (John 5:28-29)
“Amen.”
I Believe.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
The first three commandments tell us how we are to relate to God, the
other seven tell us how to relate to one another. These commandments
are summed up in Matthew’s Gospel, when a Scribe asked Jesus:
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said
to him, "‘You shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind’ This is the great and
foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole
Law and the Prophets." (Matt 22: 37-40)
