The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father,
The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen

(Make the Sign of the Cross before and after saying prayers. Please make sure your child
is using his/her right hand, and going from forehead to the heart or stomach, to the left
shoulder and then the right shoulder.)

Proper Genuflecting (Kneeling)
We genuflect (to bend the knee) to show honor and servitude to Jesus Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament (whether in the tabernacle or exposed in the Monstrance during Eucharistic Adoration).

Everyone should genuflect (kneel) toward the tabernacle on the right knee so that it touches the ground whenever entering or leaving a pew, except during communion. During Eucharistic Adoration, adorers genuflect on both knees when Jesus is present in the monstrance.

Our Father (The Lord’s Prayer)
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.

Angel of God, my Guardian dear,

world without end. Amen

Act of Contrition
Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I detest all of my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all, because I have offended Thee, My God, Who art all good and deserving of my love. I firmly resolve, by the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen

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 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.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother; To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen
