This day entirely with Thee.
Please, dear God, come into my heart,
Our day together is already a-start.
Bless me ever and ever again!
I love Thee, dearest God. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God
the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died,
and was buried.
He descended into
Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into
Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty,
from thence He shall come
to judge the living
and the dead.
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
ACT OF FAITH
O MY GOD, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I believe that Thy Divine Son became Man, and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.
ACT OF HOPE
O MY GOD, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and Life Everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
ACT OF LOVE
O MY GOD, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
DAILY OFFERING
O my God, I offer Thee through the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, all my thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings of this day, to please Thee, to honor Thee, and to make up
for my sins.
Sweet Mother Mary, keep me in thy care.
O VIRGIN
O Virgin Mother Mary,
help me to Heaven above.
Mother of Jesus,
keep me always as thy loving child.

Thou art so good,
Thank Thee for my family
and this food. Amen.

Bless us, O Lord,
and these Thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty,
Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
GRACE AFTER MEALS
We give Thee thanks
for all Thy benefits,
O Almighty God,
Who livest and reignest forever,
and may the Souls of the
faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen.
