To begin a prayer and end it we say: The Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen. 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.
