Priest: Thrice happy children, who have lived to see this blessed hour, when your Friend, your Savior, your God, Jesus Christ, stands at the threshold of your soul, knocks at the door, and asks to be admitted. At this solemn moment in the name of Him Whom you are about to receive, I invite you to renew the promises which your godfathers and godmothers made for you at a time when your infant lips could not utter them:
P. Do you renounce Satan?
Answer: We do.
P. And all his works?
Answer: We do.
P. And all his pomps?
A. We do.
P. Do you believe that there is only one God, the Creator, Preserver and Ruler of all things and the Father of all men?
A: We do.
P. Do you believe that this our God and Father is a just judge, Who rewards the good and punishes the wicked?
A. We do.
P. Do you believe that in one God there are three Divine Persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost?
A. We do.
P. Do you believe that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, was made man, was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried, descended into hell, and on the third day rose aain from the dead, ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, and from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead?
A. We do.
P. Do you believe that the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, enables us to live and accomplish what is right and just, and that without His grace no one can be saved?
A. We do.
P. Do you believe in and openly profess the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
A. We do.
P. If you have firmly resolved to live in accordance with the holy doctrine of Christ, ever to remain faithful to His Church, to avoid sin, to love God with your whole heart, and your neighbor as yourself, declare now this your will, and promise in the presence of the All-seeing God, before your parents, teachers, and the whole congregration.
A. This we have firmly resolved and do no solemnly promise in the presence of the All-seeing God, our Lord and Savior, before our parents, pastor, teachers, and the whole congregration.
