The Apostles' Creed

An attempt to illustrate the song 'Creed' by John Michael Talbot

Here I am, Lord

Take up your Cross daily...tollat crucem suam cotidie

The way of perfection passes by way of the Cross. There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle. Spiritual progress entails the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes.

Veni Creator Spiritus & Veni, Sancte Spiritus
