Our faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the main reason
we are here at St. Margaret of Scotland School. As part of our faith we
need to take time to pray daily. The second grade will be responsible to
learn the following prayers during the year as part of their preparation for
First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
OUR FATHER
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Your name;
Your kingdom come;
Your 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 trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
HAIL MARY
Hail Mary,
full of grace
the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Hail Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
GLORY BE
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.
PRAYER OF SORROW
My God,
I am sorry for my sins
with all my heart
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good
I have sinned against you
whom I should love
above all things.
I firmly intend, with your
help, to do penance,
to sin no more, and to avoid
whatever leads me to sin.
CONFITEOR
I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
PRAYER TO THE GUARDIAN ANGEL
Angel of God
my guardian dear,
to whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day
be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
Amen.
GLORIA
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you, we bless you,
we adore you, we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory.
Lord God, Heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand
of the Father, have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
GRACE BEFORE MEALS
Bless us, O Lord,
and these your gifts
which we are about to receive
from your goodness,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
GRACE AFTER MEALS
We give You thanks,
almighty God,
for all Your goodness.
You live and reign
now and forever.
Amen.
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 day
in accordance with 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.
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 he 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 dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
