Quote of the Day – 13 March – St Leander and the Nicene

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Quote of the Day – 13 March – Saturday of the Third Week of Lent and The Memorial of St Leander (c 534-c 600)

As we pray the Nicene Creed every Sunday, we might reflect on the fact that, this same prayer is being prayed by every Catholic during Mass, throughout the world.
Saint Leander introduced its recitation as a means of uniting the faithful.
Let’s pray that the recitation, may enhance that unity among Catholics today- each time you pray it, pray in your heart “let them be one.”

The Nicene Creed

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

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

Thought for the Day -– 13 March – Wednesday of the First week of Lent, Year C and The Memorial of St Leander (c 534-c 600)

Without St Leander’s faithfulness, Spain would not have such a rich Catholic history.  For his work opposing heresy, the Church in Spain recognises him as a doctor of the faith.

Leander became known for his holiness and when the bishop of Seville died, he was unanimously chosen to replace him.   His task was clear—the Arian heresy was widespread at the time (the belief that Jesus was not fully human) and Leander set out to preach the truth.   His prayer and eloquent arguments won many over to orthodoxy.

He became friends with St Gregory the Great. before that man became pope and the two exchanged letters and supported one another.

He had a great appreciation for the importance of prayer in the Christian life.   Several councils were held under his leadership and he helped reform the liturgy and introduced the Nicene Creed into the Mass.

St Leander of Seville, you restored true faith to Spain–pray for the church, the world and us all!st leander pray for us - 13 march 2019.jpg

Our Morning Offering – 13 March – the Memorial of St Leander (c 534-c 600), who as Bishop of Seville, was responsible for including this Creed in the Holy Mass.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,

God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,

through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven
(we bow here)
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
