INTRODUCTORY PRAYERS

I Cross My Face

I cross my face and all of myself by the sign of the cross.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; One God. In the Holy Trinity believing and entrusting myself, I deny you satan in front of my mother the Holy Church, who is my witness, St. Mary Tsion forever. Amen

We thank you O Lord, and we glorify you, we praise you O Lord, and we rely on you, we beg you and we beseech you. We worship you and we serve to your Holy name. We bow and kneel down to you; O you to whom all knees should bow and who all tongues serve. You are the God of gods and the Lord of lords and the King of kings. You are God to all flesh and to all souls, and we call you as your Holy Son taught us saying 'But when you pray you shall say"

The Lord's prayer

Our father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven: give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us and rescue us from all evil for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen. 

Prayer to St. Mary

By the salutation of Saint Angel Gabriel, O! my Lady Mary I salute you. You are virgin in thought, and Virgin in body, the mother of God Tsabaot (The Lord of Host) salutation to you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Rejoice you who are joyful, O! full of grace, God is with you. Beseech and pray for our mercy to your beloved Son Jesus Christ that He may forgive us our sins. Amen

The Creed

We believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty, who created heaven and earth, and all things seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made; Who for us men and our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became Man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, died, and was buried. And on the third day He rose from the dead, according to the scriptures, ascended into the heavens; He sits at the right hand of His Father, and He  is coming again in His glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giver, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming age. Amen.
