Prayer to Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of 

your faithful and kindle in them the fire of

your love.  Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,

and they shall be created.

And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

Prayer for St. Francis (a Prayer for Peace)

Hail Holy Queen

Lord, make me an Instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love:

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying

that we are born to eternal life.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.  To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve.  To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.  Turn then, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us.  And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.  O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, Pray for us, Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three Divine Persons,

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  I believe in Jesus Christ, your Son,

Who became man and died for our sins, and who will come to judge the living and the dead.  I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because you have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.  Amen

Act of Hope

O my God, trusting in Your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen

Act of Love

O my God, I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all my love, I love my neighbor,as myself for the Love for the Love of You.  I forgive all those who have injured me, and I ask pardon for all whom I have injured.  Amen

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.  I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.  God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not make, con-substantial with the Father; through him all things were made.  For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again o the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.  He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.  He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.  I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.  I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.   Amen.
