Well, greetings everybody. I'm Father Chris Alar coming to you from the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy,

and we're excited to bring to you the entire summary of our faith. You know, we've been doing talks for

years now about elements of our faith, and how was it that we are now able to bring it all together

and summarize it in everything you need to know?

Well, we didn't do it. The church did it 1700 years ago. And it's called the creed, or in our case, the Nicene Creed.

We also pray the Apostles Creed, which we'll explain later, is a little different.

And so this is a summary. So what we're going to do here is we're going to go line by line,

literally explaining to you what we pray. What does it mean consubstantial with the Father?

What does it mean God from God, light from light, true God from true God.

What is, what are we saying? So not only that we can pray it, but we can understand it,

and then therefore love it and love our faith. So this is our journey today. It's really cold out,

so I'm wearing a sweatshirt. And right now we're filming this ahead of time

so that we can show it to you on our Saturday

explaining the faith series.

So let us begin with a prayer in the name of the Father

and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Amen, Heavenly Father.

We give you thanks and all glory for the gift of our faith,

the gift of your son that gave us, and the gift of the Holy Spirit that gave us

the ability to worship you and to know how to worship you and what to believe.

All of this is given to us in the tenet of our faith, as we have read and presented

many times the creed. And so we give you thanks, and Mother Mary, wrap your mantle around us,

...
