In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
I believe in God,
The Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son,
Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified,
Died,
And was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come 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.
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 trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

And a sword will pierce your own soul too,
So that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.

Anna,
The daughter of Phanuel,
Of the tribe of Asher.

Mother of mercy,
Hail our life,
Our sweetness,
And our hope.
To thee do we cry,
Poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this veil of tears.

Thine eyes of mercy towards us,
And after this,
Our exile.
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Death,
And resurrection,
Has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,

We may both imitate what they contain,
And obtain what they promise,
Through Christ our Lord.

And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit.
