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
Todos
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)
Todos
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.

AVISO SOBRE AS TRADUÇÕES · Tradução provisória: aguardando revisão independente.
Prayers and Reflections se compromete a oferecer orações e materiais devocionais católicos fiéis e precisos em diferentes idiomas.
Algumas orações são reproduzidas de sites católicos e publicações devocionais existentes. Embora essas fontes sejam selecionadas com cuidado, nem todas as traduções possuem aprovação eclesiástica documentada ou passaram por verificação linguística e teológica independente.
Por isso, algumas traduções podem conter diferenças involuntárias, variações de redação ou imprecisões.
Nosso processo de verificação e aperfeiçoamento das traduções é contínuo. Acolhemos correções e sugestões de membros do clero, estudiosos católicos e falantes nativos com os conhecimentos adequados.
A inclusão de uma oração não implica aprovação oficial da Igreja Católica, a menos que essa aprovação seja expressamente identificada e verificada.
Prayers and Reflections is committed to providing faithful and accurate Catholic prayers and devotional materials in different languages.
Some prayers are reproduced from existing Catholic websites and devotional publications. Although these sources are selected carefully, not all translations have documented ecclesiastical approval or have undergone independent linguistic and theological verification.
Some translations may therefore contain unintentional differences, variations in wording, or inaccuracies.
Our translation verification and improvement process is ongoing. We welcome corrections and suggestions from clergy, Catholic scholars, and knowledgeable native speakers.
The inclusion of a prayer does not imply official approval by the Catholic Church unless such approval is expressly identified and verified.
