Eucharistic Act of Faith

(2004-11-07 In a letter addressed to Archbishop Carlo Ghidelli of Lanciano- Orlona, the Pope said: "I very much desire that, during the Year of the Eucharist, every diocesan community renew publicly its act of faith in Jesus present in the sacrament of the altar and inspire all its life and pastoral action in the Eucharistic spirituality that emerges so clearly in the evangelical accounts."

The Eucharistic Act of Faith was authored by the Catholic Doors Ministry in response to the above statement. This prayer should be reproduced according to the need of each faith community so that its members will all have a copy when publicly renewing together their act of faith in the Real Presence of the Eucharist.)

I believe in God the Father Almighty.

I believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ.

I believe in God the Holy Spirit.

I believe in the Holy Trinity.

I believe in the Real Presence of Jesus

in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

I believe in the Real Presence of Jesus

in the Body of Christ, the Consecrated Bread.

I believe in the Real Presence of Jesus

in the Blood of Christ, the Consecrated Wine.

I believe that Jesus instituted the One, Holy, Catholic

and Apostolic Church as His dwelling Home on earth.

I believe in the Real Presence of Jesus

in the Sacred Tabernacles of the Catholic Church.

I believe that Jesus is truly present physically among us,

over and above being spiritually present within us.

May this truth be known to all for the glory of God.

Amen.
