PROFESSION OF FAITH (ON Sundays and Solemnities ONLY)


A:         I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND
EARTH, OF ALL THINGS VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE. I BELIEVE IN ONE LORD
JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, BORN OF THE FATHER
BEFORE ALL AGES. GOD FROM GOD, LIGHT FROM LIGHT, TRUE GOD FROM
TRUE GOD, BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE, CONSUBSTANTIAL WITH THE FATHER;
THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE. FOR US MEN AND FOR OUR
SALVATION HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS
INCARNATE OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND BECAME MAN. FOR OUR SAKE HE
WAS CRUCIFIED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, HE SUFFERED DEATH AND WAS
BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SCRIPTURES. HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF THE FATHER. HE WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY TO JUDGE THE LIVING
AND THE DEAD AND HIS KINGDOM WILL HAVE NO END. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY
SPIRIT, THE LORD, THE GIVER OF LIFE, WHO PROCEEDS FROM THE FATHER
AND THE SON, WHO WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON IS ADORED AND
GLORIFIED, WHO HAS SPOKEN THROUGH THE PROPHETS. I BELIEVE IN ONE,
HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. I CONFESS ONE BAPTISM FOR
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE RESURRECTION
OF THE DEAD AND THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME. AMEN.
