The Creed
I believe in one God, Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten
of the Father before all ages, light from light, true God from true
God, begotten not made, of one essence with the Father; through
him all things were made.
Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was
incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human,
and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and
was buried, and rose on the third day according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the
Father, and will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds
from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped
and glorified, and who spoke through the Prophets.
In one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. 1 acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins. I expect the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the age to come. Amen.
Lord our God, I have sinned this day in word,
deed or thought, forgive me all, as the good and loving God you
are. Grant me peaceful and untroubled sleep, and deliver me from
every attack and design of the evil one. raise me in due time to
give you glory; for blessed are you, , with your only-begotten Son
and all-holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Christ our God, who are worshipped and glorified
at all times and every hour, in heaven and on earth; long-suffering,
merciful and compassionate, loving the just and merciful to sinners,
calling everyone to salvation through the promise of good things
to come; receive, Lord, our supplications at this time, and direct
our lives according to your commandments. Sanctify our souls, cleanse
our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our intentions, and deliver
us from all affliction, evil and distress. Fortify us with your
holy Angels, so that guarded and guided by their forces we may attain
to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of your unapproachable
glory; for blessed are you to the ages of ages. Amen.

Holy Angel, attendant of my wretched soul and my afflicted life,

body. Take my wretched and feeble hand and lead me in the way of
salvation. Yes, holy Angel of God, guardian and protector of my
wretched soul and body,forgive me for every grief I have caused
you all the days of my life, and if I have sinned in anything this
day. Protect me during the present night and preserve me from every
attack of the enemy, so that I may not anger God through any sin.

his fear, and make me a worthy servant of his goodness. Amen.
