In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
(Matt 28:19; cf. John 14:13-14; Acts 2:21)
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Lev 5:5; Neh 1:5-9; Dan 9:3-19; James 5:16)
Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
(Matt 6:9-13; cf. Luke 11:2-4; Mark 14:36; Gal 4:6)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. (Luke 2:14; cf. Rev 4:11; 5:11-14)
O my Jesus, forgive us of our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls into heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.

and he turned the water into wine The first recorded miracle in the bible done by the intersession of Mary...
Because we think the "gospel" is nothing but made-up nonsense.
Indeed. I mean, NONE of what the Catholics pray is Scriptural...except for all the stuff you mentioned, of course. Wait...all that stuff is the basis of the Rosary, isn't it? ;)
Edit: I'm sorry, I misread your question. I thought it said, "Why don't Catholics pray the Gospel?" Oops...I'm not awake yet, despite the fact I've been awake for three hours.
It's just amazing to me that many Protestants don't think the Rosary is Scriptural, when in fact, it's ALL Scriptural, though it wasn't called the Rosary until later.
J2Cat: I wish you would explain more.
There are some sects that have changed the word of Jesus omiting and adding to fit their version. That is what they are calling divine inspiration.
The Bible clearly states in Deut. 18:22-"If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has NOT spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him".
Because they aren't Catholic and many of those practices were left behind when Martin Luther and his group formed the fist Protestant church.
Many of them however, do pray the Lord's Prayer (OOPS:>>>>3rd item on your list). I was taught it as a young child, and I was not Catholic.
Christians are Bible Believers. There is no where in the Bible that tells us to pray what you have written. Most of what you have written is very accurate Biblical information, but praying it as some sort of "spiritual ritual" is what we call works, and we are not saved by works but by faith. We are not into rituals like you are and will not get into them unless you can show us in the Bible why we should.
While it all sounds good the bottom line is that not everyone believes that Jesus is the messiah thus will not pray the gospel.
tebone, forgive me for taking off on a tangent, but I have to ask this.
Suzran, you said "Reminder: the origins of rosary can be traced from Buddhism."
Source, please? Other than a leap of illogic, making a non-existent connection between Buddist prayer beads and the Rosary, that is? Do please show us how this is "traced", with verifiable references; otherwise you're just making an assumption -- and passing it off as "fact".
Im confused. I thought the lords prayer was the gospel.
If your not supposed to do prayers based on the bible then it seems to me that Christians ought to stop saying the lords prayer.
The first one, the church I'm in pray with that.
The second looks like a creed, and there's no need to repeat it again and again unless someone asks about it.
The "Our Father" prayer is taught as having the right format for praying.
The fourth is always very characteristic of Roman Catholic prayer.
The fifth, I dont see the need; Jesus forgives, and that one sounds like very common in RC prayer.
The sixth: Strange..this is Lk 2:35 for you:
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Lk 1:43 doesnt mention "Holy Mary" and "mother of God"
"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
004: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
005: His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." (Jn 2:3-5)
We dont find the need to pray rosary. Reminder: the origins of rosary can be traced from Buddhism.
Good question! Why don't they???
Because they have different religions.
Because the Gospel is not to be "prayed" but to be preached to the lost.
Mark 16:15-16 "And He said to them, â œGo into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 â œHe who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
What is this Gospel that Christians are to preach to the world? Knowing the answer to this question is vital if one is to receive salvation and have a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ, for belief in the wrong gospel will not save, but condemn (Galatians 1:6-9). 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 provides a good summary of what the gospel is:---
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."
The Gospel message is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All of what you posted in your question is all well and good, but it is "not" the Gospel of Jesus Christ, bottom line. No where in Scripture does it say to "pray" the Gospel but it does say that we are to preach and proclaim the Gospel to the lost and to make disciples of men.
the gospels are read out every day at daily mass,and the homilies are based on the same, so call in sometime and listen. god bless
