St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, have mercy on me, and send to my aid Michael your Archangel, that he may keep, protect and defend me from all my enemies, visible and invisible. Holy Michael, the Archangel of God, defend me in battle, that I may not perish in the dreadful judgment. Archangel of Christ, by the grace which you have merited I beseech you, through Our Only-Begotten Lord Jesus Christ, draw me today and always from deadly peril. Holy Michael, Holy Gabriel, Holy Raphael, all holy angels and archangels of God, hasten to help me. I beseech you all, you heavenly Virtues, that by the power of the most high God you give me your aid, so that no enemy may be able to condemn or oppress me,   neither in my house, nor out of it, neither sleeping nor walking. Behold + the cross of the Lord, begone your enemies. The lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered; Root of David, stem of Jesse, savior of the world, who have redeemed me through your cross and blood, save me, help me, my God. Agios, Agios, Agios. Cross of Christ, protect me. Cross of Christ, save me. Cross of Christ, defend me from every evil.

Deus propicius esto michi peccatori et sis custos mei omnibus diebus vite mee. Deus Abraham deus Ysaac, deus Iacob miserere mei et mitte in adiutorium meum Michaelem archangelum qui me protegat et defendat ab omnibus inimicis meis visibilibus et invisibilibus. Sancte Michael archangele defende me in prelio ut non peream in tremendo iudicio. Archangele Christi Michael per graciam quam meruisti te deprecor per dominum nostrum Ihesum Christum unigenitum filium dei ut eripias me hodie et in omni tempore ab omnibus periculis

Prayers for preparation for Communion

These prayers are commonly used as "chaplets" (prayers on individual Rosary beads) and other purposes

Jesus Lord, welcome thou be

This medieval prayer was spoken as the priest holds up the Eucharist in the "Great Elevation" upon its consecration. The versions here are in Modern and Middle English:

Lord Jesus Christ, welcome You be! In the form of bread, You I do see. Lord Jesus Christ, with Your Holy Name, Shield me today from my sins and shame. Absolution and the Holy Eucharist, Lord, You grant me both. Before I shall go from here; And with sincere contrition of my sins, That I, Lord, will never die therein. And as you are of a maiden born, Suffer me to never be forlorn. But when I shall go, Grant me the joys of heaven with infinite glow.

Ihesu Lord, welcome thow be, In forme of bred as I the se; Ihesu! for thy holy name, Schelde me to day fro synne & schame. Schryfte & howsele, Lord, thou graunte me bo, Er that I schale hennes go, And verre contrycyone of my synne, That I Lord never dye there-Inne, And as thow of a may I-bore, Sofere me never to be for-lore, But whenne that I schale hennes wende, Grawnte me the blysse wyth-owten end. Amen. Amen.

Act of Contrition (Confession prayer)

Traditional form

Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

Actus Contritionis Deus meus, ex toto corde paenitet me omnium meorum peccatorum, Eaque detestor, quia peccando, non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum, Sed praesertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui superomnia diligaris. Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia Tua, de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum. Amen
From prayerist.com

Modern form

Act of Attrition My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen

Prayers of the Rosary

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; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. (And his kingdom will have no end.) 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.
