I, N. N., who through the tender mercy of the Eternal Father was privileged to be baptized "in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 19, 5)
and thus to share in the dignity of his divine Sonship, wish now in
the presence of this same loving Father and of his only-begotten Son to renew in all sincerity the promises I solemnly made at the time of my holy Baptism.
I, therefore, now do once again renounce Satan; I renounce all his
works; I renounce all his allurements.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I
believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born into
this world and who suffered and died for my sins and rose again. 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.
Having been buried with Christ unto death and raised up with him unto
a new life, I promise to live no longer for myself or for that world
which is the enemy of God but for him who died for me and rose again,
serving God, my heavenly Father, faithfully and unto death in the holy
Catholic Church.
Taught by our Saviour's command and formed by the word of God, I now dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom
come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen. |
