1. The Magnificat (Canticle of Mary):

2. Canticle of Zechariah:

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people and
set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty saviour, born of the house
of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old that he would save us from
our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy
to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from
the hands of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and
righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you
will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge
of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of
our Lord the dawn from on high will break upon us, to shine on those who
dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the
way of peace. Glory be to the Father....

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.

3. The Angelical
Salutation, or Hail Mary.

Hail Mary, full of

pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

4. 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, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified; 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 the life
everlasting.  Amen.

Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom His love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.  Amen.

I CONFESS to Almightly God, to blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the
Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have
sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed, through my fault,
through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech
blessed Mary, ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John
the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, to
pray to the Lord our God for me.

            May
the Almighty God have mercy on me, and forgive me my sins, and bring
me to everlasting life.  Amen.

            May
the Almighty and merciful Lord grant me pardon, absolution,
and remission of all my sins.  Amen.

7. An Act of Faith

O My God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three
Divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy Divine
Son became man, and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge
the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the
Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou has revealed them, who
canst neither deceive nor be deceived.

8. An Act of Hope

O My God, relying on Thy almightly power and infinite mercy and
promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace,
and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and
Redeemer.

9. An Act of Charity

O My God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole
heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I
love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who
have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it
known

that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help and sought
thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I
fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee I come; before

despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Other evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the

Destruction of souls. Amen.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I
detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of
hell. But most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all
good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of
Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

17. Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;

Body of Christ, be my salvation;

Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;

Water from Christ's side, wash out my stains;

Passion of Christ, my comfort be,

O good Jesus, listen to me.

In Thy wounds I fain would hide,

Never to be parted from Thy side.

Guard me when the foe assails me;

Guide me when my feet shall fail me;

Bid me come to Thee above,

With Thy saints to sing Thy love, forever and ever.  Amen.

18. Prayer before a
Crucifix, to be said after communion

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while
before Thy face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul pray and beseech
Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and
charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment.

Meanwhile, I contemplate with great
love and tender mercy Thy five most precious wounds, pondering over
them within me, and calling to mind with words which David in prophecy
made Thee say concerning Thyself, my Jesus:

"They have pierced My hands and
feet; they have numbered all my bones."

Toward the weak it is help;

Toward the wicked it is resistance;

Toward the strong it is trust;

Toward the penitent it is forgiveness;

Toward the successful it is congratulation;

And toward God it is reverence and obedience.
