Happy Sunday!
Before I forget, I wanted to talk about the Creed we pray at Sunday mass. There are two options for us: The Nicene Creed and The Apostles Creed.
You may have noticed that, more and more, we’ve been praying the Apostles Creed. I’m doing this for a couple reasons…
First, it’s the Creed we use at Baptisms and in the renewal of our baptismal vows.
Second, it’s the Creed we pray when we pray the rosary. What I’ve found is that vacillating between the “two creeds” is confusing; I get them both mixed up in my head and out loud and it’s frustrating. With that, I’m going to have us pray The Apostles Creed for a while.
I hope this helps us with our rosaries, our Masses and our baptisms.
I also wanted to let you know that I’m taking Monday through Friday off this week. I hate leaving you all, but honestly, I’m just gassed out. During the quarantine, I really went all out and, because of the weirdness of the situation, I couldn’t take days off. I took two days off earlier in the month and because of that, I hesitate, but honestly, my brain is tired!
Please pray for me during the week, I’ll certainly be praying for you all and thanking God for you.
Fr. Jim Rolph is going to cover our Masses during that week, as well as Quarantine Catechesis.
I’ll miss you guys!
