Traditional Catholic Prayers

Options
I thought I would list some traditional Catholic prayers here, in case anyone desires to use one. Since this is a weight loss support group, in addition to being a spiritual support group, I thought I'd start with the meal blessings. I have included the Latin version as well, where available (I am not a Latin scholar, so I can't do a proper translation. Google Translate can only do so much...). Enjoy!

    Act of Faith / Actus Fidei

    O my God! I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man, and died for our sins, and that he will come to, judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, who canst neither deceive nor be deceived

    Latin Version: Actus Fidei
    Domine Deus, firma fide credo et confiteor omnia et singula quæ sancta ecclesia Catholica proponit, quia tu, Deus, ea omnia revelasti, qui es aeterna veritas et sapientia quae nec fallere nec falli potest. In hac fide vivere et mori statuo. Amen.
