ACT OF FAITH # 4

O my God!
I firmly believe that Thou art one only God, 
the Creator and Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth, 
infinitely great and infinitely good: 
I firmly believe that in Thee, 
one only God, 
there are three Divine Persons, 
really distinct and equal in all things, 
the Father, 
and the Son, 
and the Holy Ghost: 
I firmly believe that God the Son, 
the second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, 
became Man; 
that He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 
and was born of the Virgin Mary; 
that He suffered and died on a cross 
to redeem and save us; 
that He arose the third day from the dead; 
that He ascended into Heaven; 
that He will come at the end 
of the world to judge mankind: 
that He will reward the good 
with eternal happiness, 
and condemn the wicked 
to the everlasting pains of hell.  
I believe these,
and all other articles 
which the Holy Catholic Church 
proposes to our belief, 
because Thou, my God, 
the infallible Truth, 
hast revealed them; 
and Thou hast commanded us 
"to hear the Church", 
which is "the Pillar and Ground of Truth."  
In this Faith I am firmly resolved, 
by Thy holy grace, 
to live and die.  
 
Amen.
