Trinity Sunday

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! This is to all the father's out there. Hopefully, we have done a good job bringing up our kids to follow the truth. Some days I wonder. St. Joseph, pray for me and all father's. The following is the Athanasian Creed, which we don't hear anymore, but is appropriate today, since it is Holy Trinity Sunday.

Whosoever would be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith.
Which faith, except every one doth keep entire, and unviolated, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
Now the Catholic faith is this: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the Persons, not dividing the substance.
For one is the Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, the Holy Ghost is uncreated.
The Father is incomprehensible, the Son is incomprehensible, the Holy Ghost is incomprehensible.
The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, the Holy Ghost is eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal.
As also they are not three uncreateds, nor three incomprehensibles, but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible,
In like manner the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, the Holy Ghost is almighty.
And yet they are not three almighties but one almighty.

So, the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.
So, the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Ghost is Lord.
And yet they are not three Lords, but one Lord.
For, as we are compelled, by the Christian truth, to acknowledge each Person, by himself, to be God and Lord; so are we forbidden, by the Catholic religion, to say there are three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of now one, neither created not begotten.
The son is from the Father alone; not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is from the Father and the Son; not made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity, there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less; but the whole three Persons are coeternal to one another, and coequal.
So that, in all things, as hath been already said above, the Unity is to be worshipped in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity.
He, therefore, that would be saved, must thus think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation, that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now the right faith is, that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and Man.
He is God, of the substance of his Father, begotten before the world; and he is Man, of the substance of his Mother, born in the world.
Perfect God, perfect Man; subsisting of a rational soul, and human flesh.
Equal to the Father according to his Godhead: less than the Father, according to his Manhood.
Who although he be both God and Man, yet he is not two, but one, Christ.
One, not by the conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by the taking of the Manhood unto God.
One altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person.
For, as the rational soul and the flesh is one man, so Bod and Man is one Christ.

Who suffered for our salvation; descended into hell; rose again, the third day, from the dead.
He ascended into heaven; he sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
At whose coming, all men shall rise again with their bodies; and shall give an account of their own works.

And they that have done good, shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic faith; which except every man believe faithfully and steadfastly, he cannot be saved.
