I believe in God,
.          the Father almighty,
.          creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ,
.          His only Son,
.          our Lord.
.          He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
.          and born of the Virgin Mary.
.          He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
.          was crucified, died, and was buried.
.          He descended to the dead.
.          On the third day he rose again.
.          He ascended into heaven
.          and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
.          He will come again 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.
