Profession of Faith 0mitteu on Ash Weunesuay
(Stand)
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is
seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being
with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he
came down from heaven. (Bow. Genuflect on Christmas and the Annunciation of the Lord) By
the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (Rise) For our
sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third
day he rose again in fulfillment of 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.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and
the Son. With the Father and the Son, he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through
the Prophets.
We believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to
come. Amen.
