BAPTISMAL CREED

Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth? Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died and was buried, rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting?

ending:

Lord in your mercy…..
