PROFESSION OF FAITH

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty, By the streams of Babylon maker of heaven and earth, we sat and wept of all things visible and invisible. when we remembered Zion. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, On the aspens of that land the Only Begotten Son of God, we hung up our harps. born of the Father before all ages. For there our captors asked of us God from God, Light from Light, the lyrics of our songs, true God from true God, And our despoilers urged us to be joyous: begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; “Sing for us the songs of Zion!” through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation How could we sing a song of the Lord he came down from heaven, in a foreign land? (All bow through “became man”) If I forget you, Jerusalem, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, may my right hand be forgotten! and became man.

May my tongue cleave to my palate For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, if I remember you not, he suffered death and was buried, If I place not Jerusalem and rose again on the third day ahead of my joy. ℟. in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven SECOND READING (Ephesians 2:4-10) and is seated at the right hand of the Father. Brothers and sisters: | God, who is rich in mercy, | because of He will come again in glory the great love he had for us, | even when we were dead in |to judge the living and the dead our transgressions, | brought us to life with Christ—by grace and his kingdom will have no end. you have been saved—, | raised us up with him, | and seated I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, | that in the ages who proceeds from the Father and the Son, to come | He might show the immeasurable riches of his who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, grace | in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. | For by grace who has spoken through the prophets. you have been saved through faith, | and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; | it is not from works, so no one may 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.
