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 and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of 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. With the Father and the Son he is adored and glorified.  He 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  13. THE HOLY ROSARY In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Then recite the Creed: THE CREED Then say 1 "Our Father", 3 "Hail Mary's" for the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity; and then 1 "Glory Be": Then: 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Then: 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. The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While meditating on the Mysteries, recite for each Mystery: 1 "Our Father" 10 "Hail Mary's" and 1 "Glory Be" The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While meditating on the Mysteries, recite for each Mystery: 1 "Our Father" 10 "Hail Mary's" and 1 "Glory Be"  After each Mystery the "Fatima Prayer" is said. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy. All together this makes up one decade. After the completion of the five mysteries (five decades), the "Hail Holy Queen" is said. Closed it by making the sign of the cross: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
