by Ben Nardolilli
We believe (a royal we believe)
in one God,
the almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in
God, before all ages.
(God of God) light of light,
true God of true God, I suppose,
Begotten not made,
by whom all things were made.
Who for us men
never came down from heaven.
In a Jesus, who
was always a man;
was crucified also under Pontius Pilate,
suffered and was buried;
allegedly in the Scriptures.
In the Lord and Giver of life,
who proceeds
together with each father and the son
and wife and daughter too,
away from adoration and glory,
not speaking
to anyone,
We confess, one life,
No remission of sins,
We look forward to the resurrection of secrets,
And our lives in the world, coming,
Amen.
