USEFUL VIDEOS AND TEXT:

Pater Noster and Ave Maria

If you are not ready to aim for Templar Knight level, you should still try to learn at least a few lines of these three prayers. If you want to be a Templar Knight, you will have to know all three off by heart.

SIGN OF THE CROSS:

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

PATER noster, 
qui es in cœlis; 
sanctificatur nomen tuum:
adveniat regnum tuum
fiat voluntas tua
sicut in caelo et in terra. 
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, 
et dimitte nobis debita nostra 
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. 
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, 
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

AVE MARIA, gratia plena, 
Dominus tecum. 
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, 
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. 

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, 
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, 
et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, 
et Spiritui Sancto. 
Sicut erat in principio, 
et nunc, et semper, 
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
