COMPENDIUM SERIES: THE SYMBOLS OF FAITH.
So now we start another section:
Section 2 chapter 1 which is called
'I believe in God the Father- the symbols of faith.'
33. What are the symbols of faith? (CCC 185-186,192,197)
Compendium states:
The symbols of faith are composite
formulas, also called ‘professions of faith” or “Creeds”, with which the Church
from her very beginning has set forth synthetically and handed on her own faith
in a language that is normative and common to all the faithful.
What does this mean for me?
'Every morning I put on your clothes
to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't
you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the
truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise,
your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion'.
-- St. Augustine (taken
from ewtn.com)
Questions to consider
1.

composite formulas which make up my faith?
