Regula Fidei (The Rule of Faith)
"Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Jesum Christum, Filium ejus 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 judicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam."
(The Apostles Creed in Latin)
"O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy be upon us, as our trust is in thee. O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded."
(One of the petitions traditionally added to the ancient text Te Deum)
"Ad te Domine levavi animam meam"
(English Translation: Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul)
(The teaching of the Apostles is summarized as the church's rule of faith in various church fathers. While the specific words used differ slightly from father to father, the points of doctrine mentioned are the same and are to be found in standardized form in the Apostles' Creed. This is the faith handed down. This is the truth of God. This is the faith of the church, and shall not die. [Acts 2:42;
Jude 3].)
