The document contains prayers and liturgical materials for opening worship including an Act of Contrition, prayers to the Holy Spirit and St. Michael, and blessings with holy water. It also includes the Rosary with introductions to the mysteries and concluding prayers. The purpose is to provide resources for leading communal prayer focused on thanksgiving, supplication, and spiritual protection.

2. Vocal prayers during opening worship should be
focused on thanksgiving, especially for answered
prayers. There should be no prayer for supplication
since these will be said later on.

3. O my God, I am heartily sorry for having
offended Thee, and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven, and
the pains of hell; but most of all
because they offend Thee, my God, Who
are 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.

prayers, request and thanksgiving be
offered to God for all people, for kings
and all others who are in authority,
that we may live a quiet and peaceful
life, with all reverence toward God and

there is one who brings God and
mankind together, the man Jesus Christ,

12. The Apostle’s Creed
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, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He
rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the
right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to
judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
