Nicene Creed (Symbolum Nicaenum)

jonah@thecoup.xyz (Jonah) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:49:43 -0500

The Prayer

English

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

Latin

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri; per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis, et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est, et resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit, qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur, qui locutus est per Prophetas.

Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum et vitam venturi saeculi.

Amen.

About this Prayer

The Nicene Creed, or Symbolum Nicaenum, was established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and later expanded at the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD to resolve theological disputes regarding the nature of the Trinity. It serves as the definitive statement of core Christian beliefs and remains a fundamental unifying document across the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions. By articulating the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, it provides the essential framework for Christian doctrine and liturgical practice.

Apostle's Creed (Symbolum Apostolorum)

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 the life everlasting.
Amen.

Latin

Credo in Deum,
Patrem omnipotentem,
Creatorem caeli et terrae,
et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,
qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria Virgine,
passus sub Pontio Pilato,
crucifixus, mortuus et sepultus;
descendit ad inferos;
tertia die resurrexit a mortuis;
ascendit ad caelos,
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis;
inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum,
sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam,
sanctorum communionem,
remissionem peccatorum,
carnis resurrectionem,

About this Prayer

Tradition holds the Apostles composed this creed, each apostle contributing one article. It is the ancient baptismal symbol of Rome and remains the foundational statement of Christian belief in the Western Church.

jonah@thecoup.xyz (Jonah) — Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Prayer

English

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Latin

Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria,
non esse auditum a saeculo,
quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia,
tua implorantem auxilia,
tua petentem suffragia,
esse derelictum.
Ego tali confidentia ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro;
ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto.
Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere,
sed audi propitia et exaudi.
Amen.

About this Prayer

Attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (or sometimes to the 15th-century cleric Claude Bernard), the Memorare is a heartfelt plea for Mary’s powerful intercession, emphasizing her unfailing help to those who seek her aid.

Novena to St Rita Cascia

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel (Oratio ad Sancte Michael Archangeli)

jonah@thecoup.xyz (Jonah) — Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Prayer

English

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Latin

Sancte Michael Archangele,
defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.

About this Prayer

Composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 after a mystical experience, this prayer was originally ordered to be recited after every Low Mass throughout the Church. It calls upon St. Michael, guardian of the Church and leader of the heavenly armies, to protect the faithful from demonic assault and to secure the triumph of Christ’s kingdom.

About the Sacred Heart Devotion

Revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1673–1675), this devotion centers on Christ’s infinite love symbolized by His wounded heart. The Morning Offering unites every moment of the day with His redemptive work, while the Act of Consecration places the soul entirely under the loving reign of the Sacred Heart.

Saint Joseph

jonah@thecoup.xyz (Jonah) — Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

St. Joseph with the Child Jesus, by Guido Reni (c. 1620).

Life

Scriptural accounts identify Joseph as a carpenter of Davidic royal lineage who lived in Nazareth. Despite his noble ancestry, he was of humble means, as evidenced by his offering of affordable sacrifices at the Temple. He is characterized as a “righteous man” through his obedience to divine commands, his protection of Mary during her pregnancy, and his willingness to flee to Egypt to ensure the safety of Jesus. His regular observance of Passover and his anxious search for Jesus in Jerusalem further underscore his roles as a devout practitioner of his faith and a dedicated father.

Historical and ecclesiastical traditions suggest Joseph died before the start of Jesus’ public ministry, leading to his designation as the patron saint of a happy death. In the Catholic tradition, he is honored with two feast days: March 19, celebrating him as the Husband of Mary, and May 1, honoring him as Joseph the Worker. His patronage is extensive, covering the Universal Church, families, various professions, and numerous countries and regions worldwide.

In religious iconography, Joseph is commonly depicted as an older man with a beard (see above), often accompanied by symbols such as carpenter’s tools, a flowering staff, or lilies. While apocryphal sources provide specific dates for his birth and death, these details are not verified by the biblical canon. Ultimately, the primary significance of Joseph in Christian theology lies in his role as the legal protector and provider for the Holy Family.

About this Chaplet

Our Lady Star of the Sea is one of the many titles given to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Star of the Sea, Stella Maris in Latin, origates from the 4th century with St. Jerome’s Liber de Nominibus Hebraicis (The Book of Hebrew Names), where he provides an etymological history of Mary’s name. One of his translations for the Hebrew word Mar (drop) and Yam (sea) was “stilla maris” meaning “a drop of the sea.”

Historical scholars and paleographers generally agree that a medieval copyist, likely around the 5th or 6th century, misread the “i” in stilla for an “e,” resulting in “stella maris” (Star of the Sea). Because “Star of the Sea” carried such powerful poetic and navigational symbolism, this version became the standard in later manuscripts. By the time of St. Isidore of Seville in the 7th century, the “Star of the Sea” etymology was already being cited as the primary meaning.

About the Rosary

The Rosary is a meditative prayer that combines vocal prayer with contemplation of the mysteries of Christ’s life. It developed in the Middle Ages and was popularized by St. Dominic. Each decade invites the faithful to “announce” a mystery and then immerse themselves in that scene while praying ten Hail Marys.
