    THE APOSTLES CREED

    I believe in God the Father Almighty,

    Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;

    Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,born of the virgin Mary,

    Suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, dead, and buried;

    He descended into hell;

    The third day he rose again from the dead;He ascended into heaven,

    and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

    I believe in the Holy Ghost;

    the holy catholic church;the communion of saints;

    the forgiveness of sins;the resurrection of the body;

    and the life everlasting. Amen.

    GLORIA PATRI

    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

    As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world withoutend. Amen. Amen.

    DOXOLOGY

    Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatureshere below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host:

    Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
