So Much Stuff to Believe In

                                    I believe in the Holy Spirit,
                                    the holy catholic Church,
                                    the communion of saints,                       
                                    the forgiveness of sins,
                                    the resurrection of the body,
                                    and the life everlasting. Amen.

What does this mean and why does it matter?
It means we are not alone.
When God became man he did not cease to be God. Instead, God transformed humanity so that, NOW, we can experience God in ways we CAN understand.

Jesus brought God and God is still here.

Jesus assembled the twelve and sent them out to be Church. Matt 28:20

Jesus taught us to pray and he gives us saints to help us pray. Matt 6:9

Jesus forgave sinners and sent the apostles with the power to continue forgiving.  
Matt 16:18-19 John 20:23

Jesus resurrected so that we may be resurrected. John 11:25

Jesus came so that we could have the everlasting life, the life that makes life worthy living.

Jesus lived so that we can live. 
Because Jesus lives, we can live... really live.
Our living comes from his living.

For every thing that Christ called us to become, Christ gave us a way to become it: 
Church, 
saints, 
forgiveness, 
resurrection, 
life.

How’s your life? Becoming is an adventure. Tell us about your adventure.
