This is a continuation of utilizing the Apostles' Creed to answer the question: What do Catholics believe in. The Apostles' Creed can be divided into twelve articles."I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth. and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. who was conceived of 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 there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit;"the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints,"+ The sole Church of Christ subsists in the CATHOLIC Church.+ The Church is ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC. These are known as the FOUR MARKS OF THE CHURCH.+ The Church is one because her source is the three persons in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Flowing from this one source is the unity of One Faith, One Baptism, One Sacrifice, and the same Sacraments.+ The Church is holy because Christ, the head of the Church, has made the Church holy through the gift of the Holy Spirit.+ The Church is catholic or universal because Christ has given the Church the fullness of the means of salvation: correct and complete confession of faith, full sacramental life, and ordained ministry in apostolic succession. The Church is also catholic or universal because her mission is to preach the Gospel to the entire world.+ The Church is apostolic because the Church continues the mission of the Apostles, because the Church continues to teach what the Apostles taught, and because the Church continues to be guided by the apostles from heaven.+ The head of the Church is its founder, Jesus Christ.+ Christ appointed Saint Peter as the first visible head of the Church.+ The POPE is the successor of Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome and is the visible head of the Church on earth. One of the Pope's titles is HOLY FATHER.+ The Pope and the Bishops in union with the Pope are the lawful successors of the Apostles deriving from Christ the power to teach, to sanctify and to govern the faithful in spiritual matters (AUTHORITY)+ The Church cannot err when teaching on faith or morals. (INFALLIBILITY)+ The Pope is infallible, when as the successor of Saint Peter, he solemnly defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals.+ The Church as Christ founded it will last until the end of time. (INDEFECTABILITY)+ After death, those who have died in God's grace and friendship but are not perfectly purified, undergo a final purification before they come to the glory of heaven. This purification is called PURGATORY. cont'd on page 5

Lenten Quotes♥ "Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy." Pope Francis

♥ "As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus' thirst...'Repent and believe' Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor --

He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you." St. Teresa of Calcutta

2 Corinthians 7:4-11 Call to Holiness/Paul’s Joy in Macedonia - Brothers and Sisters: I often boast about you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with consolation; I am overjoyed in all our affliction. For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way - disputes without and fears within, But Bod, who consoles the downcast, consoled us by the arrival of Titus, and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled about you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more. For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it, for I see that I grieved you with

that letter, though only briefly). Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance; for you felt a godly grief, so that you were not harmed in any way by us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter. Praise be to God always!Luke 8:40-56 Jairus’ Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage - The Evangelist writes: When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jairus, a leader of the synagogue. He

fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. As he went, the crowds pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years; and though she had spent all she had on physicians, no one could cure her. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his clothes, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. Then Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and press in on you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me.” When the woman saw that she could not remain hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.” While he was still speaking,

someone came from the leader’s house to say, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.” When Jesus heard this, he replied, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved.” When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother. They were all weeping and waiting for her; but he said, “Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him, knowing she was dead. But he took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!” Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed them to give her something to eat. Her parents were astounded, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened. This is the truth. Peace be with you!

+ The baptized faithful on earth (who are in this state of grace, the souls in purgatory and the saints and angels in heaven are in COMMUNION with each other, united together with Christ. This communion is called, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS.+ We honor the saints in heaven when we pray to them and ask them to pray and intercede for us.+ We can assist the souls in purgatory by our prayers, fasting, and good works.+ We can pray for one another on earth and assist each other by performing the SPIRITUAL and CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY.+ This is the sole Church of Christ which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic, which our Savior, after his Resurrection, entrusted to Peter's pastoral care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend and rule it and which he raised up for all ages as "the pillar and mainstay of the truth. (Catechism of the Catholic Church no. 816)+ The Church is one because of her source: "the highest exemplar and source of this mystery in the unity, in the Trinity of Persons, of one God, the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no 813)+ The Church is unfailingly holy. This is because Christ, giving himself up for her so as to sanctify her, joined her to himself as his body and endowed her with the gift of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 823)+ First, the Church is catholic because Christ is present in her. Secondly, the Church is catholic because she has been sent out by Christ on a mission to the whole of the human race. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 830-831)+ The Church is apostolic because she is founded on the apostles (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 857)+ We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 962) God Bless You, Deacon Jack
