These three established prayers are taken from the historical Baltimore Catechism, No. 1. The Act of Charity is headed An Act of Love in that edition. The historical wording is retained without modernization. They can be prayed individually or together, with everyone reciting each act in full.
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.
Act of Hope
Tanan
O my God! relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Act of Charity (Love)
Tanan
O my God! I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Ang Prayers and Reflections naningkamot sa paghatag og matinud-anon ug tukmang mga hubad sa Katolikong mga pag-ampo ug mga materyal sa debosyon. Bisan pa sa among paningkamot sa pagpreserbar sa orihinal nga kahulogan ug mga pagtulon-an sa Simbahang Katoliko, ang pipila ka hubad mahimong adunay wala tuyua nga mga kalainan o kasaypanan. Nagpadayon ang among proseso sa pagsusi ug pagpaayo sa mga hubad. Gidawat namo ang mga pagtul-id ug sugyot gikan sa mga pari, mga batid sa Katolikong pagtulon-an, ug mga mamumulong nga adunay igong kahibalo sa pinulongan. Salamat sa inyong pagtabang sa pagpreserbar sa pagkamatinud-anon niining mga pag-ampo.
