I confess to almighty God      (option 1)

And to you, my brothers and sisters,

That I have greatly sinned,

In my thoughts and in my words,

In what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

          And, striking their breast, they say:

Through my fault, through my faule,

Through my most grievous fault;

          Then they continue:

Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,

All the Angels and Saints,

And you, my brothers and sisters,

To pray for me to the Lord our God.

Glory to God

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will.

We paise you,

we bless you,

we adore you,

we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your great glory,

Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father,

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

you take away the sins of the world,

          Have mercy on us;

you take away the sins of the world,

          Receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

          have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,

You alone are the Lord,

You alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Nicene Creed

(all bow at the words in italics)

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.

Fur 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.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist

Priest:  Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

that my sacrifice and yours

may be acceptable to God,

the almighty Father.

The people rise and reply:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

For the praise and glory of his name,

For our good

And the good of all his holy Church.

Priest:  The Lord be with you.

The people reply:  And with your Spirit.

Priest:  Lift up your hearts.

The people reply:  We lift them up to the Lord.

Priest:  Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

The people reply:  It is right and just.

Holy, Holy, Holy

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the hightest.

Until you come again.

          have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
