God sees the needs of the people, their

pain, sickness, and helplessness and

He is moved with pity. His heart is
open to us all the time. It is very sad
that we so often mistrust and fear him,
and close our hearts against Him.
They ignore the Lord’s words. He
wants to bring us back to himself to
our eternal good.
Unfaithfulness to God is the sad
history of our humanity. As we
become the center of our world and
not God, we become self-focused,
forgetting the needs of others,
falling into lying, cheating,
corruption, forgetting God and his
way to eternal life.

 THE APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of
heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only
Son our Lord. (bow) He was conceived by the power of
the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was
buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He
rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at
the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
 NICENE
I believe in one God,CREED
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,(at the words that
follow up to, “and became man”, all bow) and by
the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
 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.
