GENERAL INTERCESSIONS

THE LORD’S PRAYER

THE SIGN OF PEACE

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he

came down from heaven, (all bow)

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate

of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

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.

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.

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.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church. I confess one

Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection

of the dead and the life of the world to

come. Amen.
