Mary, Queen of the Knights
by Father Robert Hopkins
Our Lady, Queen of the Knights
bless all the activities of our order.
Keep us true to the pledge to extend
the Kingship of thy Divine Son on
earth. Through thine intercession,
win for us the grace ever to
exemplify in our public and private
lives, the virtues which should
characterize those specially
dedicated to the service of the
heavenly court. Make us always
aware that, as your Knights, we are
constantly observed, our faith judged
and our order appreciated. Accept,
O Mary, this renewed pledge of
fealty and devotion of thy servants
the Knights of Columbus. Amen
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God the Father Alighty, 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 arose again from the dead;
He Ascended into heaven;
sits 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
OUR FATHER
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
THE FATIMA PRAYER

HAIL HOLY QUEEN
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy!
Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs, morning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us;
and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
