This prayer is very dear to our Catholic brothers and sisters and it's easy to see why. It really takes the beliefs of the majority of Christians and ties them up into one beautifully written package. Many are familiar with this prayer but it's sure worth posting at this joyous time of year!
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, The Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ
His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
On the third day, He rose again.
He ascended into Heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God,
the Father Almighty.
From thence He shall come
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.
