The Nicene Creed-Symbol of the Catholic Faith

For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy

Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man.-Jesus came from heaven, from a numinous reality other than our own.

While the creed says 'down', it is important to remember that our language is limited. Heaven is not 'up', just as God is no

biological male father. Due to the limits of language, we ascribe heaven symbolically and spatially. God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. He

was born of a Virgin through the Holy Spirit. God became truly human in Jesus Christ. Jesus of Nazareth was and is a real human being and not simply a spirit or a ghost. The

incarnation of God in Christ is the ultimate act of love, because rather than sending an angel or a good human to

establish the redemption and restoration of creation, God Himself became human.

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-Jesus died on a cross,

suffered as humans do, truly died, and was laid in a tomb.

"The Word became flesh and dwelled among us…" In

John's Gospel, 'flesh' means humanity with all its

limitations Jesus did not pretend to go through the motions

of being human, He truly is! He lived among us, and

shared our lot in life experiencing everything we

experience. Jesus rose from the dead

Molytva Любов – це життєдайний відпочинок. Мій Боже, скільки разів я зневажав Твою волю, щоб чинити те, що подобалося мені! Шкодую, що так поступав. Господи, хочу відтепер всім серцем любити Тебе! Господа, говори, бо Твій слуга слухає. Скажи, чого бажаєш від мене, на майбутнє. Хочу це виконувати. Твоя свята воля буде моїм єдиним бажанням і любов'ю. Святий Душе, поможи, бо я немічний. Ти такий добрий, тому як я можу любити щось інше більше, ніж Тебе?! Своєю святою любов'ю опануй всі мої почування. Зрікаюся всього, щоб уповні віддати себе Тобі. Прийми мене і помагай мені. Моя Мати Маріє, надіюся на Тебе.

and appeared to His disciples, spoke with them and ate their

presence to confirm the realty of his resurrection. His body

is a glorified body beyond time and space; He appears and

vanishes, yet still bears the wounds of the Passion on his

body to confirm Thomas' faith. The word 'again' is used

because Jesus' first rising was his birth. To rise again is to

be alive again.

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.

In the ancient science, heaven was thought to be 'up'; we

look up when we pray, at the Liturgy, introducing us to the

Anaphora, the celebrant turns to the East, raises his hands

upward and proclaims; "Let us lift up our hearts." So in the

Scriptures, Jesus is said to 'ascend to heaven'. Whatever

happened that day, Luke said Jesus "went up" to heaven.

He sits at the right hand of God the Father. Again, we are

limited in our language and experience of spatiality. Heaven

is not up, and Jesus sitting at the Fathers' right means

sharing authority with the Father, and not literally sitting

next to Him. Jesus is coming again to righteously judge the

living and the dead. Despite all of humanity's efforts, His

Kingdom cannot be destroyed. The creed says Jesus is

coming; it does not say when or how, nor speculate the date

of his return.

For The Unity of Churches

O Lord, Who have united various nations in the

confession of Your name, we pray to You for the Christian

peoples of the East. Conscious of the eminent position

held by them in Your Church, we implore You to inspire

them with the desire to regain that position that will enable

them to form, with us, one fold and one shepherd. Grant

that we and they may fully understand the teachings of their

Holy Doctors who are also our Fathers in the faith. Guard

us from any indiscretion which may estrange them from us.

May the Spirit of concord and charity, which is a

token of Your presence among the faithful, hasten the day

in which our and their prayers become one — that every

people and every tongue may recognize and glorify our

Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

"The Angels stand between us and God,

but they are translucent, even transparent,

and they beckon us to penetrate their luminosity."

Pray. There is immeasurable power in it.
