Beginning
Say goodbye: cross your chest and say: In the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit – Amen.
On the cross
1. I believe in god: I believe in god, The Almighty Father, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, he was born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, he died and was buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day he rose again; he ascended to heaven, he is seated at the right hand of God, The almighty father. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, holy catholic church, the communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, the body's resurrection, eternal life. Amen.

2. our father: our father, one is in heaven, hallowed be thy name; your kingdom come; Thy will be done as it is in heaven, yes and on earth. Give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Amen.

3. Hail Mary (on each little bead):
