Apostles Creed: I believe

Sr Jane and Sr Maureen
and focal area with signs of creation
Last Monday the spirituality session for November's Drop in Day of Prayer focused on the words from the Apostles' Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth ...
Following a short time for silent prayer, Sr Maureen invited us to think about our image of God, and then moved on to talk about what it means to believe, who God the Father is, as creator of heaven and earth.  There was a chance for others to ask questions and to share what they knew.  
After this a time for more informal discussion over a cup of tea.  The group then gathered together and the evening closed with a musical reflection on the words I believe ... 



CCC 167 "I believe" (Apostles' Creed) is the faith of the Church professed personally by each believer, principally during Baptism. "We believe" (Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed) is the faith of the Church confessed by the bishops assembled in council or more generally by the liturgical assembly of believers. "I believe" is also the Church, our mother, responding to God by faith as she teaches us to say both "I believe" and "We believe".
