III. THE PRAYERS.
1. 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 them that trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
2. Hail Mary, full of grace : the Lord is with thee : blessed art thou amongst 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.
3. 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, dead and buried. He descended into hell : the third day He arose 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.
