Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú
ach saor sinn ó olc. ( Amen ).

agus an chumhacht agus an ghlóir

Cré na n-Aspal - The Apostles Creed

Creidim i nDia, an tAthair uilechumhachtach,
Cruthaitheoir neimhe agus talún;
agus in Íosa Críost, a aon Mhacsan,ár Tiarna,
a ghabhadh ón Spiorad Naomh,
a rugadh ó Mhuire Ógh;
a d'fhulaing páis faoi Phointius Píoláit,
a céasadh ar chrois, a fuair bás agus a adhlacadh;
a chuaigh síos go hIfreann,
a d'éirigh an treas lá ó mhairbh;
a chuaigh suas ar neamh;
atá ina shuí ar dheis Dé,
An tAthair uilechumhachtach;
As sin tiocfaidh sé chun
Breithiúnas a thabhairt Ar bheo agus ar mhairbh.
Creidim sa Spiorad Naomh,
Sa Naomh-Eaglais chaitliceach,
I gcomaoin na naomh;
I maithiúnas na bpeacaí
In aiséirí na colainne,
Agus sa bheatha shíoraí. Amen

I believe in God, the Father almighty
creator of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
who was born of the Virgin Mary
who suffered under Pontius Pilate
who was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into heaven
sitteth at the right hand of God
the Father almighty
From whence he shall come
to judge the living and the dead
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
in the communion of saints
in the forgiveness of sins;
in the resurrection of the body
and life everlasting. Amen.

An Salve Regina - The Hail Holy Queen

Go mbeannaítear duit, a Bhanríon Naofa,
A Mháthair na trócaire, Go mbeannaítear duit
Ár mbeatha, ár mílseacht agus ár ndóchas
Is ort a ghlaoimid,
Clann bocht dhíbeartha Éabha.
Is chugatsa suas a chuirimid ár n-urnaí,
Ag caoineadh agus ag gol
Sa ghleann seo na ndeor,
ar an ábhar sin, ós tú ár n-abhcóide,
Iompaigh orainn dó shúile atá lán de thrua,
Agus tar éis na deoraíochta seo
Taispeáin dúinn Íosa,
Toradh beannaithe do bhroinne,
A Mhaighdean Mhuire ró-thrócaireach, ró-ghrámhar, ró-mhilis.

V. Guigh orainn a naomh-Mháthair Dé
R. Ionas gur fiú sinn gealltanais Chríost a fháil.

 Hail holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy, Hail!
Our life, our sweetness, and our Hope.
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve
To thee do we send up our sighs
mourning and weeping
in this vale of tears.
Turn then most gracious advocate
thine eyes of mercy toward us
and after this our exile
show unto us Jesus
the blessed fruit of thy womb,
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
...

V. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

An Old Irish Grace

Bail na gcúig arán agus an dá iasc,
A roinn Dia ar an gcúig mhíle duine,
Rath ón Rí a rinne an roinn
Go dtige ar ár gcuid is as ár gcomhroinn.
 The blessing of the 5 loaves & 2 fishes
that God shared with the 5000,
the bounty of the King who made the sharing
come upon our food and all who share it.

Another Old Irish Grace

Beannaigh sinne, a Dhia.
Beannaigh ár mbia agus ár ndeoch.
ós tú a cheannaigh sinn go daor
Agus a shaor sinn ó olc,
Mar a thug tú an chuid seo dúinn
Go dtuga tú dúinn ár gcuid den ghlóir shíoraí.
 Bless us, O God.
Bless our food & our drink.
Since you redemmed us so dearly
and delivered us from evil,
as you gave us a share in this food
so may you give us a share in eternal life.
