Almighty and merciful God, Thou dost break the power of evil and make all things new in Thy Son Jesus Christ, the King of the universe.

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. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O Lord our God, Thou alone art the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations.
We pray to Thee, Lord, in the great expectation of receiving from Thee, O Divine King, mercy, peace, justice, and all good things.
Protect, O Lord our King, our families and the land of our birth.
Guard us, we pray, Most Faithful One.
Protect us from our enemies and from Thy just judgment.
Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against Thee.
Jesus, Thou art a King of Mercy.
We have deserved Thy just judgment.
Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us.
We trust in Thy great mercy.
O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before Thee and pray: may Thy reign, Thy kingdom, be recognized on earth. Amen.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
