Friday night, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio came through the snow and spoke at the parish. The event was sponsored by the Archdiocese as he spoke about the Creed.
The Creeds are an expansion and clarification of what we are truly saying in the Baptism Rite when we are baptized in the name of the Father, and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He noted that Christianity is unique in addressing God as Father. The sense that we are in such an intimate relationship with God is not found in any other faith.
In the Creeds we continually say "I believe" or "We believe." He noted that when we really look at the original Greek, it is not simply an intellectual agreement. Rather, it gives the sense of being fully committed to our faith with our whole heart and soul.
We thank the Faith Formation Office for
bringing Dr. D'Ambrosio to St. Columbkille.
