Back to basics: the Nicene Creed part 1

Kevin Francis | Blogroll, Common Prayers | Sunday, November 4th, 2007

The 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.

The English:

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And 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, one in being with the Father; through Whom all things were made.

[Consubstantialem meaning 'of the same substance'. Source: Thesaurum Precum Latinarum. Over to Godzdogz for a complete recitation; that is, of course, if you cannot already play it from here.]
