Holy Scripture
A period of silence may follow.
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 Spirit, 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 at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
Intercessions
After each petition, the household responds: Lord, have mercy.
For our own needs and for those who have asked our prayers, especially those whom we now name before God. The faithful may add their intentions.
R. Lord, have mercy.

Conclusion
May the Lord bless us, preserve us from all evil, and bring us unto everlasting life. Amen.
