Learn The Act Of Faith Easily!
The Act of Faith is easy to learn and is basically a recap on the Apostle's Creed. Sometimes the sisters or the catechist will ask children preparing for the first reception of the Holy Eucharist to learn the several Acts since they make awesome morning prayers or evening prayers. More frequently they are not required for little children who have not yet received the sacrament of Penance because they are busy learning the Act of Contrition and the Apostles' Creed and since these two prayers start in such a similar way as to confuse many little ones. By the time one is preparing for Catholic Confirmation, though, it is good to know these Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity. They ask for the main graces necessary to keep the Faith and die well and many Catholics use them for morning and night prayers. St. Anne's Helper offers these prayers on both the First Communion and Confirmation CDs or Downloads. You can hear a sample audio clip here. A (Catholic prayer book) is the life-blood of those living the Catholic religion as evidenced in the lives of the Catholic saints. The main prayers of the Rosary are included on St. Anne's Helper's First Communion and Confirmation preparations. Act of FaithO my God! I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man, and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen. The Act of Faith sums up the Apostles' Creed. It also gives the reason Catholics believe in the Blessed Trinity. God Himself revealed it. Whether or not we can understand a revelation, we believe it because He Who is Omniscient, All-Knowing, revealed it! Book of Catholic Prayers
