While reciting this in church on Sunday, I thought of htis forum and decided to share:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Often we recite prayers without grasping their meaning. I've been reciting this since before I knew what the heck I was saying. Now I embrace it with all my heart and soul.
