Catholic prayer that you first learned to recite

[EveningSkye111]

The Hail Mary and sign of the cross.

Not to be sacreligous, I was very young but:

I wondered why Mary had fruit in her loom.

Same here!!! What kind of fruit, I always wondered.

I learned the Act of Contrition very early. I was so proud to have that long one memorized, but almost got clobbered when I recited “oh, my God, I’m hardly sorry…”

That was about sixty years ago…

My mother taught me a whole bunch of prayers, but the Sign of the Cross, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be were the main ones.

I added the Act of Contrition and the Apostles’ Creed after I learned them in religious education class.

I was taught the Our Father by my mother with the “thees” and “thous.” Later, in religious education class, they taught it to us without them.

Hail Mary and I knew the Our Father as a protestant. Before I was Catholic and when we would go to Catholic Mass, I knew to end the Our Father at “deliver us from evil.”

Our Father, grace before meals (I say it nearly the same as my Lutheran father, his was slightly different).
