Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth,
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven , is seated at the right hand of God.
He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Remember, of most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who

to confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
