Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

Postlude
“Go…and tell the people the full message of this new life” Acts 5:20
The Liturgy, then, is common worship, concorporate worship, worship in one mind and with one heart, and with one mouth.
Dorothy Day
The renaissance of sacred music in the secular world occurred in the last 25 years, precisely the period in which the Catholic liturgy itself was shredded.
Richard Morris
The real "action" in the liturgy in which we are all supposed to participate is the action of God himself. This is what is new and distinctive about the Christian liturgy: God himself acts and does what is essential.
Joseph Ratzinger
The Eucharistic mystery stands at the heart and center of the liturgy since it is the fount of life by which we are cleansed and strengthened to live not for ourselves but for God and to be united in love among ourselves.
Pope Paul VI
There is no excuse for not preserving the chant or not making it an active part of the Catholic liturgy everywhere.
Richard Morris
It is in the familiar structure of the Mass itself that a Catholic not only encounters but finds himself received into the very gospel itself, day by day, year after year... the entire liturgy is a seamless gospel fabric, so to speak. It is the gospel, in public, ceremonial, ritual, explicit form.
