CCSH Bulletin with the Nicene Creed Kudos and sincere appreciation to any and all who influenced the return of the Nicene Creed text to the primary worship aid (The Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Bulletin). If I were to say The Nicene Creed is the most important prayer I would probably be coached by Many that there is no such thing as a relative ranking among prayers. Many would also say that a simple “thank you” would be sufficient to show appreciation for the inclusion of a simple text of the Nicene Creed. But for me, emphasizing the importance of the Creed helps me to reinforce my support to keep the Creed front and center. The creed is one prayer along with others that rank as vital prayers that I am jazzed about. The Nicene Creed helps us to focus and align on the Central tenets of our Faith. Every sentence and every word in the Creed is a critical part of our Faith. It gives me great pride and affirmation to pray the Creed with you every time we speak those Beliefs. Thank you. tp
I posted these thoughts elsewhere but please allow me to repeat.  I am looking forward to Father Jeff’s upcoming presentation on the Gospel of Matthew (next Friday evening, December 2). Being a little rusty on the terms, I reached out to Google to locate this quote on the basics, “The liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church consists of 3 Cycles, A – Matthew, B – Mark, and C – Luke. The liturgical cycle starts at Advent, followed by Christmas, Ordinary times, Lent, Paschal Triduum, Easter and ends at Ordinary time.” So it is no surprise with the upcoming cycle (Actually now underway with Advent) of Matthew in the new liturgical year, that we should spend some time dwelling on the insights of scholars on Matthew’s perspectives on the life of Christ – such as what aspects of Matthew’s version are unique versus what aspects are common with the gospels of Mark, Luke, and John. It should be a fascinating presentation. No pressure. I believe that it is ok, for our small community to be thirsty for some knowledge. With a little knowledge, Let’s just see what the Holy Spirit can stir up among us. I hope that others will share my enthusiasm for the topic and attend the presentation this week.
