Credo
Dorothy Searle reflects on words, spirituality and heading into the unknown
Credo in unum deum, patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium… (I believe in one god, the father almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible…). I’ve sung these and similar words on many occasions but, for a long time, I haven’t believed them. Although, at one time, I could have coped with ‘Credo in Deum’ (‘I believe in God’) that was as far as I could have gone. This was a real problem; but, gradually, I began to pick up the mystical meaning behind those words and to hear ‘where the words come from’.
