Mysteries of the Rosary

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

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

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.
