What do we believe - the Creed

The Nicene Creed is something we, as the Ministers of the Assembly, say at most Eucharistic Celebrations (the Mass), but how much of it do we take for granted? Or just recite it mindlessly? It's pretty easy to just fall into the groove and not pay attention to the words we say. But we should pay attention and here's why:

First, it is full of 'We's' and that is important to our faith. At Mass, WE as the Assembly, are the primary ministers. Our fait exists in community, we are not alone.

Second, it helps and reminds us that it is the Most Holy Trinity what we come to worship.

Third, it helps us to see all the things Christ did for us, to model for us and give us the tools to establish the Kingdom of God, Love, Forgive, Serve without regard for our ourselves, but for the greater good of the Kingdom.

Fourth, it reminds us that it is our Baptism that is our call into the Ministry of Christ, which is the Church.

All the good stuff is right there and with so much more. Here is this Creed, written and revised in the 4th Century is still relevant, still a living, breathing document. How great is our Church, that it can give us this gift, the revelation of the Holy Spirit, that has lasted, and will last until the end of time.
