  • Creed
    :
    The profession of our Christian faith. The two most common creeds are the Nicene Creed which is said at every Sunday Mass, and the Apostles’ Creed. In the Creed, we profess belief in the Holy Trinity and in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. (870)
  • Sign
    :
    Something that stands for or represents something else. Often, a sign is a visible symbol of something that is invisible or difficult to understand. The Sacraments are sign of the grace they give to us. (1131)
  • Soul
    :
    The spiritual principle which animates or gives life to a body. In human beings, the soul is the innermost aspect of the person, that which is of greatest value in him, and by which he is most especially in God’s image. It is created by God at the moment of conception and is immortal. God intended for the human and body and the human soul to be united in one human nature. (382, 1016, 1711)
