For several lines now, we've been focusing on Jesus' nature and identity, and now we move onto His story.
All in By Heart
Day 17, Nicene Creed, 9th Line
As we were learning about the Creed during RCIA four years ago, I asked why we first say Jesus is God from God, and later say He is true God from true God. It felt a little redundant to me, but I knew there had to be a really good reason.
Day 14, Nicene Creed, 6th Line
Jesus is not a created being like the rest of us, not a creature, but an extension of Creator God Himself. And there is no other like Him.
Day 13, Nicene Creed, 5th Line
As Christians, we believe in one God. However, that God is three persons. Some say this is proof that our faith is divinely inspired, because if we just made it up, it would make a lot more sense.
Day 12, Nicene Creed, 4th Line
Dogs can’t see the full spectrum of colors, so it would make sense if they don’t acknowledge red. They’re dogs, you know? Cats, on the other hand, can see in the dark.
Day 6: Act of Contrition, 6th Line
True repentance is such a difficult commitment, not just because we’re taking responsibility for something that’s already happened, but because we are making a commitment to changing ourselves so that the same thing doesn’t happen again.
Day 5: Act of Contrition, 5th Line
This is how utterly helpless we are before God, that even our penance has to be done with His help.
Day 3: Act of Contrition, 3rd Line
This line, as simply as it seems, only begins to make sense when we begin to understand that we are not our own. All of creation belongs to God. Even our very breath is on loan from Him.
Day 2: Act of Contrition, 2nd Line
Sins are acts of the will. We simply know what we should do, and we chose to do something else instead.
Day 1: Act of Contrition, 1st Line
I couldn’t imagine a better line of prayer to focus on for Ash Wednesday. These words encompass the very heart of the entire Lenten season as we prepare ourselves for the Passion and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
