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.”

Salve Regina
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our hope. To thee we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto 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. Amen.
Let us pray
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left un-aided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful, O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
