born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under PontiusPilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended

into hell; on the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholicChurch, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
