Crucifix

Sign Of Cross: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
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 where He shall 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.

Closing Prayers |
O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death, and
resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of everlasting life; grant, we beseech you, that we, who meditate upon these mysteries of the most holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may both imitate what they contain, and attain to what they promise. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen
