“Our pilgrimage on earth
cannot be exempt from trial.
We progress by means of trial.

or receives a crown,
except after victory,
or strives,
except against an enemy or temptations.”

Father and Doctor of Grace
“What determines that the gifts of God
dwells in us,
is the measure of each one’s faith.
Because it is to the extent that we believe,
that the enthusiasm to act is given us.
And so those who act,
reveal the measure of their faith
proportionate to their action,
they receive their measure of grace
according to what they have believed. …”
St Maximus the Confessor (c 580-662)
Monk and Theologian
“All our goodness is a loan;
God is the owner;
God works
and His work is God.”
St John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Doctor of the Church
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body
and life everlasting.
Amen
