Act of Contrition
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and falling to do good,
I have sinned against you
Whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
To do penance, to sin no more,
And to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
The Act of Contrition is a prayer that expresses to God the sorrow one feels and the willingness to avoid sin in the future. It may be memorized or spontaneous and is prayed regularly in a healthy Catholic spirituality.
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God,
The Father almighty;
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived
By the power of the Holy Spirit
And born of the Virgin Mary;
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of the Father.
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 the life everlasting.
Amen.
The Apotles' Creed, with the twelve articles, contains the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. The title comes from being a summary of apostolic teachings, not from being written by the Apostles.
It summarized the teachings of the Apostles and was given to the catechumens when they were baptized.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of 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.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spolen through the Prophets.
We believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
The Nicene Creed is the profession of the Christian Faith common to the Catholic Church. After God's Word is proclaimed to us at Mass, we stand and proclaim our faith. The words we use, called the Nicene Creed, are more that 1500 years old.
In heaven God said, "One day I will send my Son to help all people and show them how to live. And I choose Mary to be the mother of Jesus, my Son. So God sent his angel Gabriel to Mary and the angel said:
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
