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 the 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

Thank you all for your efforts to convince me that I am mixed up in my beliefs but thus far they have only served to solidify my confidence in The One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ Jesus. I am Catholic and the above is a good summation of what I believe, it has come to me initially through my parents but then reinforced thru all of my 54 years of joy and sorrow. I can appreciate that each of you have experiences that have formed your faith differently. I think we probably have much more in common then what separates us.

Please continue to pray for me as I pray for each of you.

God Bless
