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,
On 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 there He will come,
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 life everlasting. 
Amen.

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God,
The Father almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
Of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
The Only Begotten Son of God,
Born of the Father before all ages.

God from God,
Light from Light,
True God from true God,
Begotten, not made,
Consubstantial with the Father,
Through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation,
He came down from heaven,
And by the Holy Spirit,
Was Incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
And became man.

For our sake,
He was crucified Under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
And rose again on the third day in accordance with 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.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Lord, the giver of life,
Who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
Who with the Father and the Son,
Is adored and glorified,
Who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one,
Holy Catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism,
For the forgiveness of sins,
And I look forward,
To the resurrection of the dead,
And the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Saint Patrick’s Breastplate

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Amen.
