Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Our Father is based on these passages from the Bible:
Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I
detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of
all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and
deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy
grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of
sin.

Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to
do wrong and failing 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.
