Living Our Faith Day by Day 978-1-958237-85-4
Living Our Faith Day by Day by Bishop Arthur Serratelli, S.T.D. S.S.L. D.D. provides "Minute Meditations for Every Day" containing an inspirational quote, reflection, and prayer based upon the Nicene Creed. A contemporary look at this timeless prayer to deepen our understanding of the Faith and develop a faith-informed prayer lift for all those who desire a closer walk with Our Lord. The Nicene Creed, crafted in 325 AD at the Council of Nicaea, is more than a doctrinal statement--it's a vibrant guide for everyday Christian living. Recited in worship, its truths shape how believers navigate life, grounding faith in a world of shifting values. For Christians, connecting the Creed to daily practice foster's purpose, community, and resilience. Bishop Serratelli connects the words of the creed to other scripture verses, writing of the Saints, Doctors of the Catholic Church, and well know Christian writers to inspire Christian living each day.
The Creed begins with belief in "one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth." This anchors daily choices in trust that God's sovereignty (Romans 8:28) oversees all circumstances, from mundane tasks to major decisions. Affirming Jesus as "true God from true God" calls Christians to emulate His love and sacrifice (John 15:12), whether forgiving a coworker or serving the poor. His incarnation and crucifixion remind us to embrace humility and suffering, finding meaning in trials (Philippians 2:5-8).
By weaving the Creed into daily life--through prayer, service, and community--Christians embody its truths, transforming routine moments into acts of worship. This connection strengthens faith, aligns actions with God's will, and witnesses to the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20), making the Creed a living blueprint for thriving in Christ.

Belief in the Holy Spirit, "the giver of life," inspires reliance on divine guidance in prayer and discernment, shaping ethical decisions at home or work. The "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church" emphasizes community, urging active participation in worship and fellowship (Hebrews 10:25). This counters isolation, fostering support for families, as the Sacred Scripture and Catechism of the Catholic Church highlights.
The Creed's focus on "the resurrection of the dead" and "life everlasting" offers hope, encouraging perseverance through loss or hardship (1 Corinthians 15:58). It calls Christians to live with eternity in view, prioritizing virtues over fleeting gains. For Christians, this reinforces marriage, parenting and the life of discipleship as sacred callings, reflecting God's eternal design (Ephesians 5:25).
