THE HOLY ROSARY

Optional:Opening Songs

Kiss the Cross and make the Sign of the Cross


Apostle's Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus

Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord. He was concieved by the power of the Holy Spirit and was

born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was

buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He arose again. He descended into

Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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.
