3 After hearing God s Word proclaimed and preached, why do we recite the Nicene Creed? At the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325, the bishops summarized the fundamentals of the Catholic faith. This is the reason why this creed is called The Nicene Creed. The purpose of the Creed or Profession of Faith is that the whole gathered people may respond to the Word of God proclaimed in the readings taken from Sacred Scripture and explained in the Homily and that they may also honor and confess the great mysteries of the faith by pronouncing the rule of faith in a formula approved for liturgical use and before the celebration of these mysteries in the Eucharist begins. General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 67 Those of us who have been baptized now have the saving opportunity to respond to God s Word by stating the creed publicly. At Mount Sinai, Moses read the Covenant of the Law to the people, and after doing so, the same people responded: All that the Lord has said we will do. In a similar manner, the recitation of the Creed is our way of saying: All that the Lord has said we will do. Thus, through our public recitation of the summary of the Church s belief, we declare and show ourselves openly that we are both disciples of Jesus and full members of the Catholic Church. Después de escuchar la Palabra de Dios proclamada y predicada, por qué recitamos el Credo Niceno? En el Concilio de Nicea en el año 325 los obispos resumieron los fundamentos de la fe católica. Esta es la razón por la que este credo se llama El Credo Niceno. El propósito del Credo o Profesión de Fe es que toda la gente reunida pueda responder a la Palabra de Dios proclamada en las lecturas tomadas de la Sagrada Escritura y explicada en La Homilía y que también puedan honrar y confesar los grandes misterios de la fe pronunciando la regla de fe en una fórmula aprobada para uso litúrgico y antes de que comience la celebración de estos misterios en la Eucaristía. Instrucción General del Misal Romano, 67 Aquellos de nosotros que hemos sido bautizados ahora tenemos la oportunidad salvadora de responder a la Palabra de Dios declarando el credo públicamente. En el Monte Sinaí, Moisés leyó el Pacto de la Ley al pueblo, Y después de hacerlo, la misma gente respondió: Todo lo que el Señor ha dicho que haremos". De manera similar, la forma del credo es nuestra manera de decir: "Todo lo que el Señor ha dicho que haremos. Así, a través de nuestra recitación pública del resumen de la creencia de la Iglesia, declaramos y mostramos abiertamente que somos discípulos de Jesús y miembros de pleno derecho de la Iglesia Católica. Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27 Adults: What has it meant to you to take up your cross and follow Jesus? Children: When has it been hard to be a follower of Jesus? Evangelio: Mateo 16:21-27 Adultos: Qué ha significado para que tome su cruz y seguir a Jesús? Niños: Cuándo ha sido difícil ser un seguidor de Jesús? What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Matthew 16:26 St. Francis of Assisi once said, Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else. We often forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the world s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God s values and not the values of the material world. Qué beneficio tendría uno de ganar el mundo entero y perder su vida? Mateo 16:26 San Francisco de Asís dijo una vez: Recuerda, eres lo que eres a los ojos de Dios, y nada más. A menudo olvidamos esta sabiduría de la administración cuando gastamos todo nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para ganar más riquezas mundanas. Necesitamos establecer nuestras prioridades basadas en los valores de Dios y no en los valores del mundo material.
