The Apostles' Creed
  1. I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
  2. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
  3. who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
  4. suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
  5. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead.
  6. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
  7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
  8. I believe in the Holy Ghost,
  9. the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,
  10. the forgiveness of sins,
  11. the resurrection of the body,
  12. and the life everlasting. Amen.

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 8:1-5

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society. | Thomas Sowell
