  THE OUR FATHER
  OpR
  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.
  
  THE HAIL MARY
  HAIL Mary, full of grace!
  The Lord
  is with thee;
  blessed art thou among women,
  And blessed is the fruit
  of thy womb, Jesus.
  Holy Mary,
  Mother of God,
  pray for us sinners,
  now and at the hour
  of our death. Amen.
  
  TO THE HOLY TRINITY
  GLORY be to the Father,
  and to the Son,
  and to the Holy
  Spirit.
