Who God is and what He has revealed about Himself.
God made me.
God made me to know him, love him and serve him in this world, and to be happy with him for ever in the next.
God made me to his own image and likeness.
This likeness to God is chiefly in my soul.
My soul is like to God because it is a spirit, and it is immortal.
When I say my soul is immortal, I mean that my soul can never die.
I must take more care of my soul; for Christ has said, "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and suffers the loss of his soul?"
The first article of the Creed is, "I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth".
God is the supreme spirit, who alone exists of himself, and is infinite in all perfection.
God is called almighty because he can do all things; "For God everything is possible".
God is called "Creator of heaven and earth" because he made heaven and earth, and all things, out of nothing, by his word.
God had no beginning: he always was, he is, and always will be.
God is everywhere.
God knows and sees all things, even our most secret thoughts.
God has no body; he is a spirit.
There is only one God.
There are three Persons in God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
These three Persons are not three Gods: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one and the same God.
The mystery of the three Persons in one God is called the mystery of the Blessed Trinity.
By a mystery I mean a truth which is above reason, but revealed by God.
There is this likeness to the Blessed Trinity in my soul: that as in one God there are three Persons, so in my one soul there are three powers.
The three powers of my soul are my memory, my understanding, and my will.
The eighth article of the Creed is, "I believe in the Holy Spirit".
The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity.
The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
The Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and to the Son, for he is the same Lord and God as they are.
The Holy Spirit came down on the Apostles at Pentecost, in the form that "seemed like tongues of fire".
The Holy Spirit came down on the Apostles to confirm their faith, to sanctify them, and to enable them to found the Church.
