This website is an attempt to provide myself and others an experience of authentic Christian faith. In these days it is difficult for Christians to discern a true identity. Who is a true and authentic Christian?
First, a Christian is one who loves God and his neighbor because of his faith in and love for Jesus Christ. To love Jesus is to love the Father, and to be filled and led by the Holy Spirit. A Christian lives a Trinitarian spirituality, honoring God in each divine Person and experiencing the work of each divine Person in his/her life.
Go Deeper!Second, a Christian loves the Word of God. He is convinced of the authenticity of the canonical Holy Scriptures, their inspiration, infallibility and reliability. A Christian turns to the Scriptures, praying, reading and studying them continually, especially the gospels.
Third, a Christian belongs to an historic community of believers originating from the Apostles, their teachings and the Fathers of the Church.
Fourth, a Christian, from birth to death, receives the grace and love of God in the sacraments. He is born anew in Baptism, he is kept new by the sacrament of the altar, he is renewed by the Holy Spirit in Confirmation.
Fifth, a Christian enjoys the fullness and richness of the Christian life through the communion of the saints both past and present.
I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
