Why did the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers gathered together against the Lord, and against His.
Christ his
Let us break their bonds and cast away their yoke from us!
He who dwells in heaven shall laugh at them; the Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his anger and in his fury he will disturb them:
I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to me, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you.'
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.
"You shall break them with a rod of iron and shatter them like a potter's vessel."
And now, O kings, understand; be instructed, you who judge the earth,
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in him with trembling.
Take heed of discipline, lest at any time he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all who trust in him.
Ant. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve and obey him.
Hallelujah.

8. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.
You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall break them like pots of clay.

Whoever wants to be saved, before all things it is necessary that he holds the catholic faith:
2. Unless someone preserves the whole and unblemished, without a doubt, they will perish forever.
3. The Catholic faith is this: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in unity.
we will be revered.
4. Neither confounding the persons, nor separating the substance.
5. For Alia is the person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit:
6. But the divinity of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is one, equal in glory, coeternal in majesty.
As the Father, so the Son, so the Holy Spirit.
8. Uncreated Father, uncreated Son, uncreated Holy Spirit.
9. Immense Father, immense Son, immense Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, eternal Son, eternal Holy Spirit.
And yet not three eternal, but one eternal.
12. As there are not three uncreated, nor three immense,* but one uncreated, and one immense.
13. Similarly, Almighty Father, Almighty Son, * Almighty Holy Spirit.
14. And yet not three omnipotent ones, but one omnipotent.
15. Thus God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
16. And yet there are not three gods, but one God.
17. Thus the Lord Father, the Lord Son, the Lord Holy Spirit.
And yet there are not three Lords, but there is one Lord.
19. Because, just as each individual person confesses God and Lord in a Christian manner
In truth we are compelled: thus we are prohibited by Catholic religion from saying that there are three Gods or Lords.
20. The Father was made by no one: neither created nor begotten.
The Son is only from the Father: not made, nor created, but begotten.
22. The Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son: not made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
23. One therefore Father, not three Fathers: one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Spirit, not
Three Holy Spirits.
24. And in this Trinity, nothing is prior or posterior, nothing is greater or lesser: but all three persons are entirely
They are related to each other and equal.
25. Therefore, as has been said above, both unity in Trinity, and Trinity in unity
may she be revered.
26. Therefore, whoever wishes to be saved, must think thus about the Trinity.
27. But it is necessary for eternal salvation, that one also believe in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus
Christ must be believed faithfully.
28. Therefore, faith is rightly that we believe and confess, because our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The Son is both God and man.
29. God is begotten of the substance of the Father before the ages:* and man is of the substance of the mother in
born in the century.
30. Perfect God, perfect man: subsisting of rational soul and human flesh.
31. Equal to the Father according to divinity;* lesser than the Father according to humanity.
32. Who, although He is both God and man, is nevertheless not two, but one Christ.
33. However, not by the conversion of divinity into flesh, but by the assumption of humanity into
God.
34. One altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person.
35. Just as the rational soul and flesh are one human being: so God and man are one Christ.
36. Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell:* on the third day he rose again from the dead.
37. He ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:* from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
38. To whose coming all men have to rise with their bodies: and they will return
These are the reasons of the own facts.

This is the faith, catholic, which unless someone shall have believed faithfully and firmly, he shall be saved.

Antiphon. Glory to You, Most Holy Trinity, who are one God, before all

Anyone who wishes to be saved must, first of all, profess the Catholic faith.
2. And whoever does not keep it whole and pure will undoubtedly perish forever.
3. The Catholic faith is this: that we venerate one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity;
4. Not confusing the Persons, nor dividing the substance.
5. Because there is only one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit;
6. But there is only one Divinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, equal to His glory and
to His Majesty.
As the Father is, so is the Son and so is the Holy Spirit.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated;
Great is the Father, great is the Son, and great is the Holy Spirit;
Eternal is the Father, eternal is the Son, and eternal is the Holy Spirit.
11. And yet, they are not three eternals, but one only Eternal;
12. As there are not three uncreated, nor three immense, but one only uncreated and one only immense.
13. Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, and the Holy Spirit is omnipotent;
14. And yet, they are not three omnipotent beings, but one Omnipotent.
15. In the same way, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
16. And yet, they are not three gods, but one God.
17. Likewise, the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord;
18. And yet, there are not three lords, but one Lord only.
19. For just as the Christian truth compels us to confess that each of the Persons is
God is Lord, and the Catholic religion also forbids us from stating that there are three gods or lords.
20. The Father was made by no one, nor created, nor generated.
The Son was not made, nor created, but is begotten only of the Father.
22. The Holy Spirit was not made, nor created, nor is generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son.
23. Therefore, there is one Father and not three Fathers; one Son and not three Sons; one Holy Spirit.
and not three Holy Spirits.
24. And in this Trinity, nothing is before or after, nothing is greater or lesser, but the three
People are coeternal and equal to one another;
25. So, in everything, as has been said before, one must venerate the unity in the Trinity and the
Trinity in unity.
Therefore, whoever wishes to be saved must have this faith in the Trinity.
27. But, to attain eternal salvation, it is also necessary to firmly believe in the Incarnation.
of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
28. For true faith consists in believing and confessing that Our Lord Jesus
Christ, Son of God, is God and Man.
29. He is God, begotten from the substance of the Father, before the beginning of time; and he is man, born from the
substance of Your Mother, in time.
Perfect God and perfect man, who exists with a rational soul and human flesh.
31. Equal to the Father according to divinity, lesser than the Father according to humanity.
32. And although he is God and man, Christ is one and not two.
33. One only, not by the conversion of divinity into the human body, but by the assumption of the
humanity in God.
Absolutely one, not by identity of substance, but by the unity of the Person.
35. For, just as the rational soul and the body form one man, so also God and
man, there is only one Christ.
36. He who suffered for our salvation, descended to the mansion of the dead and on the third day
resurrected.
37. He ascended to heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty, from where he will come to judge the
the living and the dead.
38. At His coming, all men will rise with their bodies and will give account.
accounts of your own actions.
And those who have done good will go to eternal life; but those who have done evil will go
for the eternal fire.
40. This is the Catholic faith, and whoever does not believe in it faithfully and firmly will not be able to be saved.

Mirroring this light, I know You as the supreme good, the good that is above all

Angels, who with the fire of charity You gave to men.

Sweetness, for you are sweet without any bitterness. Oh Eternal Trinity!
