I BELIEVE in one God, 
   the Father Almighty, 
   maker of heaven and earth, 
   and of all things visible and invisible; 
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, 
   the only-begotten Son of God, 
   begotten of his Father before all worlds, 
   God of God, Light of Light, 
   very God of very God, 
   begotten not made, 
   being of one substance with the Father; 
   by whom all things were made; 
   who for us men and for our salvation 
      came down from heaven, 
      (genuflect in honor of the Incarnation) 
   and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, 
      and was made man;          (stand) 
   and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; 
      he suffered and was buried; 
   and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, 
   and ascended into heaven, 
   and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; 
   and he shall come again, with glory, 
      to judge both the quick and the dead; 
   whose kingdom shall have no end. 
And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, 
   who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; 
   who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped 
      and glorified; 
   who spake by the Prophets. 
   And I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; 
   I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; 
   and I look for the resurrection of the dead, 
      and the life of the world to come. Amen. 

For the Prayers of the People, intercession is offered according to one of the following forms. 

The Celebrant says, 

Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church and the world. 

The Celebrant, Deacon, or other minister continues, 

Almighty and everliving God, who in thy holy Word hast taught us to make prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men: Receive these our prayers which we offer unto thy divine Majesty, beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord; and grant that all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity and godly love. 

Give grace, O heavenly Father, to N. our Pope, N. our bishop and to all bishops and other ministers, that they may, both by their life and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments. 

And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace, and especially to this congregation here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear and receive thy holy Word, truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life. 

We beseech thee also so to rule the hearts of those who bear the 
authority of government in this and every land, that they may be led to wise decisions and right actions for the welfare and peace of the world. 

Open, O Lord, the eyes of all people to behold thy gracious hand in all thy works, that, rejoicing in thy whole creation, they may honor thee with their substance, and be faithful stewards of thy bounty. 

And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succor all those who, in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. 

And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear, beseeching thee to be merciful and grant them fullness of joy in thy love and service; and to grant us grace so to follow the good examples of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all thy saints, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom. 

The Celebrant concludes, 

Grant these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. 
R. Amen.
