I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Father before all ages. through him all things were made. he came down from heaven, For our sake he was crucified he suffered death and was buried, in accordance with the Scriptures. and is seated at the right hand of the Father. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, I believe in one, holy, catholic and I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and the life of the world to come. |
You begin to remember things you have said you believe. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church. You feel a deep significance to these words often repeated from memory. You know the words by heart, but now they come to you in a new way. They are all jumbled together, not in order of how you memorized them, but coming all at once, overlapping; as though this is not a statement of many beliefs, but simply one whole thought, all parts being connected. And you realize that you too are part of this. You are ready for next step, the power up.
