When the Foremost Preachers of

the Gospel Dogmas and Pious Orthodox Traditions of Christ received within themselves the Enlightenment and Divine Radiance of the Holy Spirit, they declared the Supernatural Oracle openly to be their opinion Inspired by God, the Creed, in phraseology concise, while sublime in significance.

Gather His Holy Ones to Him. When

the Holy Shepherds brought together all their Pastoral Science and when they had stirred their Most Righteous Anger now justifiably, they drove out with the sling of the Holy Spirit the offensive and corruptive wolves, and from the complement of the Church of Christ they expelled them all, as having fallen mortally and as being ill and incurable. Thus they demonstrated themselves to be True Servants of the Lord, and Sacred Mystics of the Divine Preaching Inspired by God. to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit

Now

the Choir of Holy Fathers convened from every corner of the civilised world, they decreed into Dogma the single Essence and Nature of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And the Mystery of Theology they clearly handed down to the Church. Let us, the Faithful, call them Blessed, and extolling them, let us say: O Divine Battalion, Heavy Artillery of Theologians of our Lords Army; Luminaries that shine brightly in the Noetic Firmament; the Mystical Zions unassailable Towers; the Sweet-scented Flowers of Paradise; the sold Gold Mouthpieces of the Logos; the Glory of Nicea and the Splendour of the Universe: Intercede insistently on behalf of our souls. and ever, and to the Ages of ages.
