The faith of the Church in twelve articles, said at the start of the Rosary.
The ancient baptismal creed of the Church of Rome, summing up the faith in twelve short articles.
When: At the beginning of the Rosary, and at Mass in place of the Nicene Creed where the bishops allow it.
Why: It is the faith we were baptized into. Saying it daily keeps the whole of it in view, not only the parts we find easy.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
