I AM A CATHOLIC

I , the Bishops of Rome. We believe I am a full fledged member of the People of God, Christ 's mystical body, the Church He built on the Rock, Peter (Mt.16,16), and on his successorsth them I am united through the triple bond of their supreme power to teach, to sanctify by means of the Sacraments and the Liturgy, and to rule in matters this Church to be in good faith. I respect them for the witness they give to Christ, and I want to live with them in peace of understanding, good will and common christian fellowship.

I AM A CHRISTIAN

"baptized into Christ Jesus", God Himself made man, the Redeemer of all men, our teacher, model, guide, helper, brother and friend, "in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so too we might live a new life-living for God in Christ Jesus, Our Lord." (Rom.6,3-10),

I AM A HUMAN BEING

Like all humans, the handiwork of God , my Father. I am His image and likeness made to know and love Him in Himself and in my neighbors, here on earth and forever in his company hereafter.
