WHAT DO CATHOLICS BELIEVE?
WHAT IS FAITH? THE YEAR OF FAITH Faith is a GIFT of GOD. Faith is certainty about God and what he says to us. Faith leads to good deeds of Christian love. Faith can grow in us when we listen to the word of God and pray.
RESPONDING TO FAITH THE YEAR OF FAITH By being ready to listen to God who calls us his friends…. How does he talk to us? - Through his written Word: The Bible - In our conscience - In other day to day experiences
I BELIEVE WE BELIEVE THE YEAR OF FAITH I BELIEVE -Faith is personal but it shouldn’t be private. WE BELIEVE -We also believe as part of the Church Community. -We believe and worship together.
THE CREED THE YEAR OF FAITH THE APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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 the life everlasting.
