Trinity Sunday

The proclamation and summary of tenets of the Christian religion is called a creed. The church catholic recognizes three in fact: The Apostles’ Creed, The Nicene Creed and The Athanasian Creed. In view of this past Sunday as Trinity Sunday, lest us read and consider the Nicene Creed.

Father Daniel


THE NICENE CREED
1] I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
2] And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father 3] before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; 4] by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, 5] and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures; 6] and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
7] And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.
8] And I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
9] I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; 10] and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
