Sorry I don't blog regularly, but I've been busy with lawn jobs. However, I needed to take a break and do some reading in The "City of God", third volume. It's been almost a year now since the Crucifixion, and the Disciples and moving all over the world, as they knew it. However, before they start this undertaking, they are urged and encouraged by Mary to make a unified creed that all believers are to uphold. Each of the Apostles make one article, which is as follows:
St. Peter: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
St. Andrew: And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
St. James the greater: Who was conceived through operation of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.
St. John: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
St. Thomas: Descended into hell, arose from the dead on the third day.
St. James the less: Ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
St. Philip: From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
St. Bartholomew: I believe in the Holy Ghost.
St. Matthew: In the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints.
St. Simon: Forgiveness of sins.
St. Thaddeus: The resurrection of the dead.
St. Mathias: Life everlasting. Amen.
I had always heard that the Apostles created the Creed, but not in this way.
