Its exact wording differs in various churches and denominations, but it\u2019s always something like the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in\">I believe in God, the Father Almighty,<br \/>\ncreator of heaven and earth.<br \/>\nI believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.<br \/>\nHe was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit<br \/>\nand born of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/when-the-virgin-mary-appeared-in-zeitoun-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Virgin Mary<\/a>.<br \/>\nHe suffered under Pontius Pilate,<br \/>\nwas crucified, died and was buried.<br \/>\nHe descended to the dead.<br \/>\nOn the third day he rose again.<br \/>\nHe ascended into heaven,<br \/>\nand is seated at the right hand of the Father.<br \/>\nHe will come again to judge the living and the dead.<br \/>\nI believe in the Holy Spirit,<br \/>\nthe holy catholic Church,<br \/>\nthe communion of the saints,<br \/>\nthe forgiveness of sins,<br \/>\nthe resurrection of the body,<br \/>\nand the life everlasting. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I didn\u2019t relate to it as a prayer because it\u2019s not addressed to God; it refers to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/pray-with-the-power-of-the-holy-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">each member of the Trinity<\/a>, but in the third person. However, though I\u2019ve continued to recite it regularly in the course of my prayers, since that conversation with my Coptic friend, I\u2019ve also occasionally turned it slightly to enhance my private worship. Like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in\">I believe in You, God, my Father.<br \/>\nYou are almighty,<br \/>\ncreator of heaven and earth.<br \/>\nI believe in You, Jesus Christ, the Father\u2019s only Son, our Lord.<br \/>\nI believe You were conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit<br \/>\nand born of the Virgin Mary.<br \/>\nYou suffered under Pontius Pilate,<br \/>\nwere crucified, died, and were buried.<br \/>\nYou descended to the dead.<br \/>\nOn the third day <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/seasonal-prayers\/8-prayers-for-good-friday-and-resurrection-sunday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You rose again<\/a>.<br \/>\nYou ascended into heaven,<br \/>\nand are seated at the right hand of the Father.<br \/>\nYou will come again to judge the living and the dead.<br \/>\nI believe in You, Holy Spirit,<br \/>\nand in the holy catholic Church,<br \/>\nthe <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/finding-life-purpose\/we-all-can-be-holy-celebrating-all-saints-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">communion of the saints<\/a>,<br \/>\nthe forgiveness of sins,<br \/>\nthe resurrection of the body,<br \/>\nand the life everlasting. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a slight change, but one that has made the creed even more precious to me. I hope it will do the same for you.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was touring Egypt some years ago, when my guide, a Coptic Christian, referred to the importance of a specific prayer in his tradition, comparing it to the Apostles\u2019 Creed in the churches of the Western world.
