and He shall come again, with glory,

to judge both the quick and the dead;

Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Ghost

the Lord, and Giver of Life,

Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;

Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

and I look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.

SYMBOLUM QUICUMQUE

ATHANASIAN CREED

Quicumque vult salvus esse, ante omnia opus est, ut teneat Catholicam fidem:

Quam nisi quisque integram inviolatamque servaverit, absque dubio in aeternum peribit.

Fides autem Catholica haec est: ut unum Deum in Trinitate, et Trinitatem in unitate veneremur.

Neque confundentes personas, neque substantiam seperantes.

Alia est enim persona Patris alia Filii, alia Spiritus Sancti: Sed Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti una est divinitas, aequalis gloria, coeterna maiestas.

Qualis Pater, talis Filius, talis et Spiritus Sanctus. Increatus Pater, increatus Filius, increatus et Spiritus Sanctus.

Immensus Pater, immensus Filius, immensus et Spiritus Sanctus.

Aeternus Pater, aeternus Filius, aeternus et Spiritus Sanctus.

Et tamen non tres aeterni, sed unus aeternus.

Sicut non tres increati, nec tres immensi, sed unus increatus, et unus immensus.

Similiter omnipotens Pater, omnipotens Filius, omnipotens et Spiritus Sanctus.

Et tamen non tres omnipotentes, sed unus Omnipotens.

Ita Deus Pater, Deus Filius, Deus et Spiritus Sanctus. Et tamen non tres dii, sed unus est Deus.

Ita Dominus Pater, Dominus Filius, Dominus et Spiritus Sanctus. Et tamen non tres Domini, sed unus est Dominus.

Quia, sicut singillatim unamquamque Personam Deum ac Dominum confiteri Christiana veritate compelimur: Ita tres Deos aut tres Dominos dicere Catholica religione prohibemur.

Pater a nullo est factus: nec creatus, nec genitus.

Filius a Patre solo est: non factus, nec creatus, sed genitus.

Spiritus Sanctus a Patre et Filio: non factus, nec creatus, nec genitus, sed procedens.

Unus ergo Pater, non tres Patres: unus Filius, non tres Filii:

unus Spiritus Sanctus, non tres Spiritus Sancti.

Et in hac Trinitate nihil prius aut posterius, nihil maius aut minus: Sed totae tres personae coaeternae sibi sunt et coaequales.

Ita, ut per omnia, sicut iam supra dictum est, et unitas in Trinitate, et Trinitas in unitate veneranda sit.

Qui vult ergo salvus esse, ita de Trinitate sentiat.

Sed necessarium est ad aeternam salutem, ut incarnationem quoque Domini nostri Iesu Christi fideliter credat.

Est ergo fides recta ut credamus et confiteamur, quia Dominus noster Iesus Christus, Dei Filius, Deus pariter et homo est.

Deus est ex substantia Patris ante saecula genitus: et homo est ex substantia matris in saeculo natus.

Perfectus Deus, perfectus homo: ex anima rationali et humana carne subsistens.

Aequalis Patri secundum divinitatem: minor Patre secundum humanitatem.

Qui licet Deus sit et homo, non duo tamen, sed unus est Christus.

Unus autem non conversione divinitatis in carnem, sed assumptione humanitatis in Deum.

Unus omnino, non confusione substantiae, sed unitate personae.

Nam sicut anima rationalis et caro unus est homo: ita Deus et homo unus est Christus.

Qui passus est pro salute nostra: descendit ad inferos: tertia die resurrexit a mortuis.

Ascendit ad in caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis.

Inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos.

Ad cujus adventum omnes homines resurgere habent cum corporibus suis; Et reddituri sunt de factis propriis rationem.

Et qui bona egerunt, ibunt in vitam aeternam:

qui vero mala, in ignem aeternum.

Haec est fides Catholica, quam nisi quisque fideliter firmiterque crediderit, salvus esse non poterit.

ATHANASIAN CREED

SYMBOLUM QUICUMQUE

Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith.

Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;

Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Essence.

For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal.

Such as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father uncreated; the Son uncreated; and the Holy Ghost uncreated.

The Father unlimited; the Son unlimited; and the Holy Ghost unlimited.

The Father eternal; the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal.

And yet they are not three eternals; but one eternal.

As also there are not three uncreated; nor three infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite.

So likewise the Father is Almighty; the Son Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty.

And yet they are not three almighties; but one Almighty.

So the Father is God; the Son is God; and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods; but one God.

So likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords; but one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion; to say, There are three Gods, or three Lords.

The Father is made of none; neither created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father alone; not made, nor created; but begotten.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons;

one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.

And in this Trinity none is before, or after another; none is greater, or less than another. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and coequal.

So that in all things, as aforesaid; the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be saved, let him thus think of the Trinity.

Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God, of the Essence of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Essence of his Mother, born in the world.

Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.

Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood.

Who although he is God and Man; yet he is not two, but one Christ.

One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh; but by assumption of the Manhood into God.

One altogether; not by confusion of Essence; but by unity of Person.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man; so God and Man is one Christ;

Who suffered for our salvation; descended into hell; rose again the third day from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the God the Father Almighty,

from whence he will come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies; And shall give account for their own works.

And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting;

and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholic Faith; which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved.

eaque detestor, quia peccando,

non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum,

sed praesertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum,

ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris.

Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia Tua,

de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum.

Amen.

ACT OF CONTRITION

O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,

and I detest these and all my sins

because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell.

But most of all, because I have offended Thee

Who art all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace

To confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.

Amen.

En Ego, O Bone et Dulcissime Iesu

PRAYER BEFORE A CRUCIFIX

En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu,

ante conspectum tuum genibus me provolvo,

ac maximo animi ardore Te oro atque obtestor,

ut meum in cor vividos Fidei, Spei et Caritatis sensus,

atque veram peccatorum meorum poenitentiam,

eaque emendandi firmissimam voluntatem velis imprimere;

dum magno animi affectu et dolore

Tua quinque vulnera mecum ipse considero ac mente contemplor,

illud prae oculis habens, quod iam in ore ponebat Tuo David propheta de Te, o bono Iesu:

"Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos: dinumeraverunt omnia ossa mea."

 Amen.

PRAYER BEFORE A CRUCIFIX

En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu

Behold, o kind and most sweet Jesus,

I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight,

and with most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee

that Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity,

with true contrition for my sins,

and a firm purpose of amendment


while with deep affection and grief of soul,

I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate

Thy five wounds, having before my eyes the words which David the prophet put on Thy lips concerning Thee, O good Jesus:

 "They have pierced my hands and feet, they have numbered all my bones."

Amen.

THE LAST GOSPEL — 
THE JOHANNINE PROLOGUE
(St John 1.1-14)

In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum


et Deus erat Verbum: hoc erat in principio apud Deum.

Omnia per Ipsum facta sunt et sine Ipso factum est nihil quod factum est.

In Ipso vita erat et vita erat Lux hominum et Lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.


Fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Iohannes.


Hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de Lumine ut omnes crederent per illum.


Non erat ille Lux sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine erat Lux.

Vera quae illuminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum in mundo erat et mundus.

Per Ipsum factus est et mundus Eum non cognovit.

In propria venit et Sui eum non receperunt.

Quotquot autem receperunt Eum dedit Eis potestatem filios Dei fieri

his qui credunt in nomine Eius qui non ex sanguinibus neque ex voluntate carnis neque ex voluntate viri sed ex Deo nati sunt.

Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis et vidimus gloriam Eius gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiae et veritatis."

THE LAST GOSPEL — 
THE JOHANNINE PROLOGUE (St John 1.1-14)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by Him: and without Him was made nothing that was made.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
 
This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the Light, that all men might believe through Him.

He was not the Light, but was to give testimony of the Light.

That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.

He came unto His own, and His own received him not.

But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God,

to them that believe in His name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
