The Athanasian Creed is characterized by its extraordinary length and the formal anathemas (condemnations) of those who reject what is professed! Its first sentence declares, “If anyone wishes to be saved, before everything else he must hold the faith!” That is why chant- ing the Athanasian Creed was such a “stretch” even in such a bastion of “high church” convic- tions as Ascension! Perhaps it was chanted in Latin to “take the edge” off of the anathemas! In any case, I missed the opportunity. The Athanasian Creed does offer a careful sum- mary of doctrine even if it is difficult to set to music:

In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul preserves the words of Jesus at the Last Supper: “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Co- rinthians 11:24). The action of doing and saying what Jesus said and did at the Last Supper is an act of remembrance that re- calls and makes present his saving mysteries. WordWord ofof LifeLife This action also keeps or holds the mystery Blessed John Paul II in his encyclical letter of his Death and Resurrection close to us. “ of Life” reminds us that “when the sense of God is lost, there is also a tendency to lose the When we keep the mystery in our worship sense of man, of his dignity and his life” (no.21).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Today’s feast, extending a dimension of Easter joy into Ordinary Time, re- minds us that every aspect of worship centers on the mystery of God in three persons. At baptism, we are initiated into Christ and the Spirit. The Creed we recite at Mass every Sunday has its roots in the ancient celebration of bap- tism, when a new believer was questioned at the edge of the waters of the font with three questions: Do you believe in God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit? Three questions, three affirmations, three immersions into the saving waters. Because every liturgy abounds with references to the Trinity, not only in words but in blessings by the sign of the cross, this feast was not easily ac- cepted into the calendar. Pope Alexander in the eleventh century remarked that the liturgy is so laden with praise of the Trinity that there was no need for a special feast. Two hundred years later, while in exile in France, Pope John XXII proclaimed the feast, but it was not until 1911 that Pope St. Pius X gave it status as a solemnity.

A favorite image in art for today is the Icon of the Trinity, showing three glorious winged men seated at a table laden with bread and a cup of wine. It recalls Abraham’s hospitality to angels and gives expression to the inner life of God, a life lived in relationship, a life poured out in abundance whenever Christians gather at the table of the Eucharist to give praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Spirit. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
