I confess to Almighty God

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my
thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what have failed to do; through my fault,
through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore, I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the
Angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to Lord our God.
May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

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 power of the Holy Spirit, and was 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 again 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.

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; forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

On the small beads say 10 times:
