THE APOSTLE’ 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 dead. I believe in the
HOLYSPIRIT, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness
of sins, the resurrection of the body. And the life everlasting. Amen.
EJACULATION OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls
to heaven, especially those who most need of Your mercy.

The fourth mystery is the presentation in the Temple
We recall how Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple. There, upon the arms
of priest he is offered to God. In the similar way. He will be offered today through
the hands of the priest at Holy Mass. Often will I offer the child Jesus to God at
Holy Mass, at the Holy Communion. We pray this mystery to offer ourselves
always generously to God.

disappointments are these words for Jesus, we pray this mystery to fight
against our pride and be humble always with the humble Jesus.

grace to deny ourselves often, to take up or cross daily, and to
follow Jesus.

enlighten and strengthen us always and impart to us his seven gifts.

him the many and horrible sins men have committed. He prays and
suffers, and bloody sweat issues from his pores and trickles down to

pray this mystery to be always resigned to God’s Holy Will.

to the ground covered with his own blood. We pray this mystery to
merit the grace never to sin against holy purity.
