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 dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand 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 deadand the life of the world to come. Amen.

Spiritual Communion PrayerMy Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy

Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Prayer to St MichaelSaint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our

protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou O prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell, Satan, and all the evil spirits that prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
