Common Catholic Prayers — Powerful Prayers Every Catholic Should Know||
† The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
This simple yet powerful prayer begins and ends every Catholic devotion. It reminds us of our faith in the Holy Trinity and our unity with Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross.
The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father)
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.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
This prayer, taught by Jesus Himself (Matthew 6:9–13), reminds us to trust in God’s will and seek His mercy daily.
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
A central Marian prayer that honors the Virgin Mary, asking for her intercession and motherly care.
The Angelus
Recited traditionally at 6 a.m., 12 noon, and 6 p.m., the Angelus recalls the mystery of the Incarnation.
-
The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary;
And she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary... -
Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
Be it done unto me according to your word.
Hail Mary... -
And the Word was made flesh;
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Queen of Heaven (Regina Caeli)
During the Easter season, Catholics replace the Angelus with the Regina Caeli, celebrating the joy of Christ’s Resurrection.
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, Alleluia!
For He whom you did merit to bear, Alleluia!
Has risen as He said, Alleluia!
Pray for us to God, Alleluia!
Let us pray:
O God, who gave joy to the world through the Resurrection of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant that we may obtain, through His Virgin Mother, the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Nicene Creed
A profession of faith recited at every Sunday Mass, the Creed summarizes what Catholics believe.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
This creed unites all Christians in one common belief — in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Glory Be (Doxology)
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.
A short but profound prayer that gives eternal praise to the Holy Trinity.
Final Reflection
