Summary
Were you there when he laid the foundation of the Earth? Fr. Mark-Mary brings us this pertinent question from the book of Job as we reflect on the Apostles Creed that we pray every Rosary. He explains that this question, far from being accusatory, is a promise of care from the Lord, a promise that we can trust in God to be God. Today’s focus is “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, ” and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.

| 1:20.6 | Trinity, how he was moved by the creed when speaking about it, or how he was moved by the creed as he prayed it during the rosary |
| 1:31.2 | or the Holy Mass. For those who get it, they understand the Apostles' Creed and these particular |
