In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
This prayer sanctifies our consecration to the Blessed Trinity.
May Christ's words be in my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.
This prayer is said while making the small sign of the cross with the thumb of your right hand on the forehead, lips and heart. We use the small Sign of the Cross at the Proclamation of the Gospel at Holy Mass.
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 tresspass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil, Amen.
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
mother of God,
pray for us sinners.
Now, and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Glory Be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
