PRAYER CHAIN: Edna Doherty 541-902-8647
I BELIEVE…
‘I believe,’ is a phrase often used in different contexts
to mean different things,
though it is a phrase with a deep religious sense.
We say ‘I believe in you’ or ‘please believe in me’
meaning trust in one another.
The Creed that we pray Is an expression of our faith,
a summary of all we believe in.
The first three parts deal with
the three persons of the Trinity,
and the last one about the Church,
touching everything in salvation history
from creation to eternity.
In the early Church, Creed was called
the symbol of faith.
It was memorized and recited
as a code word or a password.
The Creed was not written on paper or parchment
but on the hearts of believers.
Though no more a secret word,
we are persuaded to hold them in our hearts.
In the context of the mass,
the Creed we profess is an affirmation of our faith
in the presence of God and one another.
The words of the Creed strengthen our identity
and our hope for the future.
As we face doubts and difficulties, we need to seek
assurance from the Creed and the faith family,
opening our hearts to the
working of the Holy Spirit…

Question: What Is the Easter Duty?
Answer: Because of the central importance of Easter to the Christian faith, the Catholic Church requires that all Catholics who have made their First Communion receive the Holy Eucharist sometime during the Easter season, which lasts through Pentecost Sunday, 50 days after Easter. (They should also take part in the Sacra-ment of Penance before receiving this Easter com-munion.) This reception of the Eucharist is a visible sign of our faith and our participation in the Kingdom of God.
