I have often looked back and marveled at the clarity and beautiful simplicity of the Apostles and Nicene creeds and at the mystery of how those words shaped me at age 14. I had the privilege of a wise teacher who helped me not just memorize by rote, but grasp as much as a child can, the tenets of faith I was about to publicly profess. Indeed they have been sturdy guardrails as this pilgrim has traveled many winding roads.

Diana, I’m inspired by your comment to help my youngest memorize the creeds. I hope they can be for her what they have been for you.
