The Creed

After the Gospel has been read, the Creed is sung, in which the people show that they assent by faith to Christ’s doctrine. Thus the Creed forms the answer and echo to the voice of God, Who has spoken to us by His prophets and Apostles, and even by His own Son.

It forms a link between the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful: it is at once the blossom and fruit of the preceding Scriptural readings, and the foundation stone and basis for the sacrifice which is about to begin, the “mystery of faith”
