Pray, Love and Live the Creed

As we close out the first week of the Year of Faith, a thought occurred to me. Do we know what faith Pope Benedict is speaking of? In other words what do we believe? What are we supposed to believe? What is it we believe as Catholics?

The answer (a start at least) can be found in our Profession of Faith – the Creed. This is actually one of the four pillars included in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (yes, that's another hint to read the CCC. It's not too late to sign up for the daily updates to read the CCC in one year). All four of the pillars, together make up the fullness of the truth that is our Catholic faith.

As you watch the video below, think to yourself, do I pray the Creed or do I just say it?
