PRAY ~ CHRISTIANS

We affirm our unwavering belief in the Holy One, conceived by the Virgin Mary. He faced formidable challenges during the governance of Pontius Pilate, culminating in His crucifixion, death, and honourable burial. Yet, this is not the end—on the third day, He rose again triumphantly, conquering death! After His resurrection, He ascended to the heavenly realms, where He reigns in glory at the right hand of God, the Almighty Father. He will return from this exalted position to bring judgment and everlasting life to the living and the departed.

**Prayers of the Rosary**  
**SIGN OF THE CROSS**  
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

**THE APOSTLES' CREED**  
I believe in God, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth. In Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into the hall; on the third day, He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, and from there, He shall 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.

**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.

**HAIL MARY**  
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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.

**GLORY BE TO THE FATHER**  
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, a world without end. Amen.

**HAIL, HOLY QUEEN**  
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, sweetness, and hope! To thee we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; after this, our exile, show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.  
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
