L: We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
P: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
L: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried;
P: The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
L: from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
P: We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
L: And we believe in resurrection and eternal life. Amen.
