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 whom trespass against us.
And lead us not in to temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence 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.

Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of 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.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Liturgy of the Hours
Sometimes referred to as the Divine Office, this is the prayer of the Church. It is a 7 part prayer, each part is called an "Hour." While it is most commonly prayed by priests and religious, it is supposed to be the prayer of the church, and all Christians are invited to share in this prayer which usually consists of a series of Psalms and biblical readings. To learn more about the liturgy of the hours or to pray Morning, Evening or Night prayer you can visit The Liturgy of the Hours Apostolate.

Prayer of Abandonment
Father,
I abandon myself in to your hands;
Do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you;
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me
And in all your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord
In to your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart
For I love you, Lord,
And so need to give myself,
To surrender myself in to your hands,
Without reserve, and with boundless confidence
For you are my father.
Amen.
        Brother Charles of Jesus
