THE APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his
only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to
the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father. He will come again 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.

PATER NOSTER

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.

AVE MARIA

Hail Mary full of Grace, the LORD is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst 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.

GLORIA PATRI

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now
and ever shall be, world without end. AMEN

HOLY MOTHER

By Eric Clapton

Holy Mother, where are you?

Tonight I feel broken in two.

I've seen the stars fall from the sky.

Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh I need your help this time,

Get me through this lonely night.

Tell me please which way to turn

To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,

Somehow I know you're still there.

Send me please some peace of mind;

Take away this pain.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,

I've cursed your name a thousand times.

I've felt the anger running through my soul;

All I need is a hand to hold.

Oh I feel the end has come,

No longer my legs will run.

You know I would rather be

In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,

My voice is still, I fade away.

Holy mother, then I'll be

Lying in, safe within your arms.
