At Morning Prayer

The priest and people shall stand and say together:

Quicunque Vult

Whoever will be saved must first of all hold to the catholic faith; unless this faith be kept whole and undefiled he shall without doubt perish eternally.

This is the catholic faith: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance.

There is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost.
However, the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one – the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Ghost.

The Father is uncreate, the Son is uncreate, and likewise the Holy Ghost is uncreate.

The Father is incomprehensible, the Son is incomprehensible, and likewise the Holy Ghost is incomprehensible.

However, there are not three eternals, but one eternal.

Likewise, there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated – but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

In the same manner, the Father is Almighty, the Son is Almighty and the Holy Ghost is Almighty.

However, there are not three Almighties, but one Almighty.

Again, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God.

However, there are not three Gods, but one God.

In the same manner, the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord and the Holy Ghost is Lord.

However, there are not three Lords, but one Lord;

for, in the same way that we are compelled by Christian truth to acknowledge every person by himself to be both God and Lord,
so also are we forbidden by the catholic faith to say that there are three Gods or three Lords.

The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So, there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons, one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts;

and in this trinity, none is in front of or after another; none is greater or lesser than another;

but the whole three persons are co-eternal and go-equal together.

In all things, as has been already said, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

Therefore, he who will be saved must think of the Trinity in this manner.

Further, it is necessary for everlasting salvation that he also believe correctly regarding the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man:

God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the substance of his Mother, born into the world.
Perfect God and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.

Equal to the Father, as regarding his Godhead; and inferior to the Father, as regarding his manhood;

Who, although he is both God and Man is yet not two, but rather one Christ:

One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of the Manhood into God;

One altogether; not by confusion of Substance, but by unity of person.

Just as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so too God and Man is one Christ,
who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, and rose again the third day from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right and of the Father, God Almighty, from whence he will come to judge the living and the dead.

At whose coming, all men will rise again with their bodies, and shall give account for their own works.

And, they that have done good shall go into life everlasting – but they that have done evil into everlasting fire.

This is the catholic faith, which unless a man believe if faithfully, he cannot be saved.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.
