Tuesday, April 23 : Creed « Quicumque vult »

The Catholic faith is this, that we worship the one God in trinity and the Trinity in unity, neither confusing the Persons nor dividing the Substance; for there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit; but the Godhead of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is one, the glory co-equal, the majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, so is the Son and so is the Holy Spirit; the Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, the Holy Spirit uncreate… So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God; and yet there are not three gods , but one God… So then, the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is at once God and man: he is God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds, and man, of the substance of his mother, born in the world; completely God; completely man, consisting of rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father in respect to his Godhead, less than the Father in respect of his manhood. Who, although is he God and man, yet is not two but one Christ; one, however, not by the conversion of Godhead into flesh but by the taking of manhood into God; one, not by confusion of substance but by unity of person. For as the rational soul and the flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ. Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again from the dead; ascended into heaven, sat at the right hand of the Father, thence shall come to judge the living and the dead.
