WEEK OF MAY 29, 2012:
ALL STUDENTS: IF YOU NEED EXTRA CREDIT, MEMORIZE THE FOLLOWING PRAYER FOR A
RECITATION. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM ME, AND IT MUST
BE READY BY MONDAY, MAY 29TH. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MANY OF THE WORDS ARE
COGNATES OR WORDS THAT WE HAVE STUDIED.
Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, y en
Jesucristo, su unico Hijo, Nuestro Senor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia
del Espiritu Santo, nacio de Santa Maria Virgen, padecio bajo el poder de
Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado. Descendio a los infiernos;
al tercer dia resucito de entre los muertos; subio a los cielos, y esta
sentado a la diestra de Dios Padre Todopoderoso; y desde alli ha de venir a
juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos. Creo en el Espiritu Santo, la Santa
Iglesia Catolica, la comunion de los santos; el perdon de los pecados; la
resurreccion de los muertos y la vida eterna. Amen.
