wine as the sacrament of his blood. He did this to testify to us that just 
as truly as we take and hold the sacraments in our hands and eat and 
drink it in our mouths, so truly we receive into our souls, for our 
spiritual life, the true body and true blood of Christ, our only Savior. We 
receive these by faith, which is the hand and mouth of our souls.”

Leader: Christian, what do you believe?

the Father, begotten before time; and he is man from the essence of 
his mother, born in time; completely God, completely man, with a 
rational soul and human flesh…He suffered for our salvation… he 
arose from the dead on the third day; he ascended to heaven; he is 
seated at the Father’s right hand; from there he will come to judge 
the living and the dead…This is the catholic faith, that one cannot 
be saved without believing it firmly and faithfully.”

Leader: What further advantage do Christians receive by the cross? 
People: “Through Christ’s death our old selves are crucified, put to 
death, and buried with him, so that the evil desires of the flesh may 
no longer rule us, but that instead we may dedicate ourselves as an 
offering of gratitude to Him.” 
Leader: How does Christ’s resurrection benefit us? 
People: First, by His resurrection He has overcome death, so that He 
might make us share in the righteousness He won for us by His 
death. Second, by his power we too are already now resurrected 
to a new life. Third, Christ’s resurrection is a guarantee of our 
glorious resurrection.

Leader: Christian, what do you believe concerning the death of Christ? 
People: “The death of the Son of God is the only and most perfect 
sacrifice and satisfaction for sin, and is of infinite worth and 
value...because the person who submitted to it was not only 
really man and perfectly holy, but also the only begotten Son of 
God, of the same eternal and infinite essence with the Father and 
the Holy Spirit, which qualifications were necessary to make 
Him a Savior for us. Moreover, the promise of the gospel is that 
whosoever believes in Christ crucified shall not perish, but have 
eternal life. This promise, together with the command to repent 
and believe, ought to be declared and published to all nations.”

“Lord, we confess that we often feel abandoned, even though 
you promised to never leave us or forsake us. When darkness and 
fear hide your face we are quick to despair, to believe lies, and 
turn to other gods. We commit our spirits to our idols, finding 
refuge in them instead of remaining true to you in our bleakest 
hours. Jesus forgive us for being unfaithful. Thank you for 
always keeping your promises, to the very end! Comfort our 
afflicted hearts and forgive us for our waywardness, only for the 
sake of your blessed Son, Jesus Christ.”

People: “We worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the 
Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated...So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God; And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.”

 Leader: Christian, what do you believe? 
 People: “We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and 
 earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, 
 the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God 
 from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not 
 made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were 
 made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he 
 became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was 
 made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered 
 and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the 
 Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the 
 Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. 
 His kingdom will never end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the 
 Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and 
 with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke 
 through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic 
 church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look 
 forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to

“I am reduced to a horrible condition. I have sinned, and what can I say to you, O God? I was a fool to amuse myself with petty excuses, and to imagine they would carry any weight in your presence. Now I am silent. I am a criminal in the hands of justice, disarmed, stripped of the weapons I once trusted. I know that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. But there is forgiveness, mercy, and redemption with you. You will not despise a broken and a contrite heart. You have said that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God, 
who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent; according to
