pro f e s s i o N o f fa i t h

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,

(All bow during these two lines.)

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.

2020-2021 JUBILEE YEAR

For the period of the Jubilee, September 23, 2020 - September 23, 2021, the Holy Father, Pope Francis has granted a Plenary Indulgence (remission of temporal punishment due to sin) to the truly penitent members of the faithful who fulfill the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions), if they undertake a sacred pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and there devoutly participate in the Jubilee rites, or will at least devote a considerable period of time in pious reflection and prayer on the Christian vocation, for the increase of priestly and religious vocations, and for the defense of the institution

100 th aNNiversary of the placiNG

of the NatioNal shriNe of the immaculate coNceptioN

of the human family, having poured out their humble prayers to God, concluding with the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and invocations to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Those pious faithful, the elderly, the infirm, or those impeded by some other serious reason, are equally able to obtain the Plenary Indulgence if, having detestation of sin and the intention of being there, as it is permitted above, fulfilling the three usual conditions, during the anniversary celebrations, in the presence of an image of the heavenly Patroness, they spiritually join themselves, offering their prayers, sorrows, and difficulties of their own life to the merciful God through Mary.
