PRIÈRES
Le Credo des Apôtres
Je crois en Dieu, le Père tout-puissant, créateur du ciel et de la terre, et en Jésus-Christ, son Fils unique, notre Seigneur, qui a été conçu du Saint-Esprit, est né de la Vierge Marie, a souffert sous Ponce Pilate, a été crucifié, est mort, a été enseveli, est descendu aux enfers, est ressuscité des morts le troisième jour, est monté au ciel, est assis à la droite de Dieu le Père tout-puissant, d'où il viendra juger les vivants et les morts. Je crois au Saint-Esprit, à la sainte Église catholique, à la communion des saints, à la rémission des péchés, à la résurrection de la chair, à la vie éternelle. Amen.
Notre Père
Notre Père, qui es aux cieux ! Que ton nom soit sanctifié ! Que ton règne vienne ! Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel. Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien, pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés, et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du malin.
Je vous salue Marie
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâce,
Le Seigneur est avec toi.
Tu es bénie entre toutes les femmes
et béni est le fruit de tes entrailles, Jésus.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu,
priez pour nous pécheurs,
maintenant et à l'heure de notre mort.
Amen.
Gloire à toi
Gloire au Père
et au Fils
et au Saint-Esprit,
comme c'était au commencement
est maintenant et sera toujours
monde sans fin.
Amen.
Prière de Fatima
Ô mon Jésus, pardonne-nous nos péchés, préserve-nous du feu de l'enfer, conduis toutes les âmes au Ciel, spécialement celles qui ont le plus besoin de ta miséricorde. Amen.
Je vous salue, Sainte Reine
Je vous salue, Sainte Reine, Mère de Miséricorde,
notre vie, notre douceur et notre espoir.
C'est vers toi que nous crions,
pauvres enfants bannis d'Eve.
C'est vers toi que nous adressons nos soupirs,
deuil et pleurs dans cette vallée de larmes.
Tournez-vous donc, ô très gracieux avocat,
tes yeux de miséricorde envers nous,
et après cela notre exil
montre-nous le fruit béni de tes entrailles, Jésus.
Ô clément, ô aimant,
Ô douce Vierge Marie.

“During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste

“In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” - Luke 2:1-7

Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.

He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me.'

The Crucifixion and Death
“When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. [Then Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.'] They divided his garments by casting lots. The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, 'He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.' Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, 'If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.' Above him there was an inscription that read, 'This is the King of the Jews.' Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, 'Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us.' The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, 'Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.' Then he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' He replied to him, 'Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.'
"It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle. Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit'; and when he had said this he breathed his last.” - Luke 23:33-46

While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them. They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, 'Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.'” - Luke 24:1-5
