He made It one with His divinity without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration.
He confessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate.
He gave It up for us upon the holy wood of the Cross, of His own will, for us all.
Truly I believe that His divinity parted not from His humanity for a single moment, nor a twinkling of an eye;
given for us for salvation, remission of sins, and eternal life to those who partake of Him.
I believe, I believe, I believe that this is true. Amen.
