We pray through a Lenten opening and then reflect on why the Creed is a living summary of the faith, not a prayer we rush past at Mass. We look at the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, and we ask what it would mean to treasure these words as the “spiritual seal” and “treasure of our soul”. 
• opening prayers and a daily offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary 
• what the Apostles’ Creed is and why it carries authority 
• what the Nicene Creed is and why it remains widely shared 
• how the Creed keeps faith centred on the Trinity and God’s saving work 
• why the Creed strengthens hope in forgiveness, resurrection, and everlasting life 
• the danger of praying the Creed mechanically at Mass 
• the witness of martyrs and St Ambrose’s image of the Creed as a guardian 
• questions to examine whether we know and treasure the Creed by heart 
If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith this Lent, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our Lenten Reflection booklet, now available on Amazon.com.
