I believe...

The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.

He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

 -- John 1:9-14

The Nicene Creed

 I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, 
maker of Heaven and earth and of all things 
visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus 
Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten 
of his Father before all ages, God of God, 
Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, 
not made, consubstantial with the 
Father, by Whom all things were made; Who 
for us men and for our salvation, came down 
from Heaven, and was Incarnate by the Holy 
Spirit of the Virgin Mary and was made Man; 
He was crucified also for us under Pontius 
Pilate, and was buried. And the 
third day He rose again according to the 
Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven. He 
sitteth at the right hand of the Father: and He shall 
come again with glory to judge the living 
and the dead: and His kingdom shall have no end. 
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and 
Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and 
the Son, Who, together with the Father and the Son, 
is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the 
prophets. And I believe in one holy Catholic and 
apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism 
for the remission of sins. And I expect the resurrection 
of the dead, and the life of the world to come. 
Amen.

In this Year of Faith proclaimed by Our Holy Father Benedict XVI let us all reflect on what we believe.
