Schedule for Nicene Creed Memorization

Schedule for Nicene Creed memorization:
(date in ( ) is assignment date; date for recitation test is the next class after the assignment date)

(Feb 12) I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

(Feb 19) I believe
in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.

(Feb 26) God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.

(March 4) For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

(March 11) For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.

(March 25) He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

(April 15) I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored
and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

(April 22) I believe in one, holy,
catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins

(April 29) and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
