Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,Both now and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; Because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
The Apostles’ Creed
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; The third day he arose from the dead and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From hence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church (universal), the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, life everlasting. Amen.
