THE APOSTLES CREED 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 Pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. 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 sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen! AN ACT OF FAITH O God, I firmly believe all the truths that You have revealed and that You teach us through your Church, for You are Truth itself and can neither deceive nor be deceived. AN ACT OF HOPE O God, I hope with complete trust that You will give me, through the merits of Jesus Christ, all necessary grace in this world and everlasting life in the world to come, for this is what You have promised and You always keep Your promises. AN ACT OF LOVE O God, I love you with my whole heart above all things, because You are infinitely good; and for Your sake I love my neighbor as I love myself. AN ACT OF CONTRITION O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen! |
