Homily (All are seated.)

“The Hidden Treasure” from JESUS MAFA, a response to the New Testament Lectionary readings by a Christian community in Cameroon, Africa.

Each reading was selected and adapted to dramatic interpretation by the community members.Photographs of their interpretations were made, and these were

then transcribed to paintings. (1973) This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial ShareAlike 3.0 License.

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe 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, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, [All bow] and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. [End bow]

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who

with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

General Intercessions: “Lord, hear our prayer.”

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to

separated from You. Amen.
