Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity are common morning prayers. If you help your children memorize them, they will always have a short form of prayer at their disposal for those days when they do not have time or the opportunity to use their own words.

The Act of Faith can be said at any time when we feel our faith is being tested or we are enduring temptation. An Act of Faith can be as simple as “My God, I believe in you”, but the following is a traditional version which generations of Catholics have memorised.

Here is the prayer:

My God, I believe in you
and in all that your Holy Church teaches,
because you are the very truth itself
and can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Amen.
