Nicene Creed Reflection The first “I believe” statement symbolizes the first part of the trinity in my opinion, when it describes God the Father.When it says “I believe in one God” that represents to me that we are a monotheistic and we only preach and believe in One God. Next, when it says “The father almighty, maker of heaven in earth” in my opinion this means that he is greater than everyone and he is the ultimate creator, that also even though he holds all the power in the world he still uses it to lover everyone equally. Finally, when it says “Of all things visible and invisible,” this means everything in the world is him and that we shouldn’t have doubts about God even, if we can’t see him. We should always put our full trust in God if he is invisible or visible such as, the Eucharist or even is when you are praying. Overall, I learned that the first I believe statement symbolizes that, there is one God and he is the king of the whole world of all things. Next, the second I believe statement to me symbolizes the second part of the trinity, because it describes Jesus Christ. When it first says, “I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,” this means to me that, God sent down his only son Jesus Christ to save us all, and there is only one Jesus Christ. He is the only one that saved us from our sins and allowed to live in eternal life with him …show more content…

When we say, “Amen,” at the end of the creed that is us saying yes to God and it just helps us Catholics deepen our relationship with

In chapter two of Money, Greed, and God, Jay W. Richards says that the federal government doesn 't appropriately distribute welfare to those who need it. In addition, Richards says that the government should simply stay out of matters this small because they could be better handled by smaller more locally run organizations. In essence, the federal government is “too big” to know how to help the needy. I completely disagree with this assertion. Although the federal government is big and oblivious to who exactly needs what, it is still a necessary part of the welfare distribution system because of the money it has and all the power needed to deliver said funds.

Consumed by greed, author Gary Soto reiterates his first sin with imagery and a plethora of symbols as he is overpowered by greed and must accept God back into his life. To clarify, the sin itself was fueled by greed, which the then six years old Gary Soto was not able to resist. At the time, the author stole an apple pie from a bald grocer “whose forehead shone with a window of light.” (Line 18) It is as if Gary Soto is turning away from the house of God which is adorned with windows to let in His light. The author grins at the grocer and exits, at that moment he has turned his back on the house of God, giving in to greed’s temptation by stealing an apple pie; much like Eve stole the apple from the Garden of Eden.

In Mark Jarman’s “Unholy Sonnet 1” the Trinity is represented though vivid images and language to illustrate that comprehending the Trinity is something out of a person understanding. Jarman, to provide the reader with the knowledge that he is talking about the Trinity refers to God in three ways in a single line, “Dear God, Heavenly Father, Gracious Lord” (1). This line shows the use of language to describe the Trinity which is made up of The Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit. Then the author goes on throughout the first half of the poem capitalizing words that relate to God to show each word as a pronoun, “Mother Love and Maker, Light Divine… Oasis That All Sands Are Running Toward” (1,8)

Our worldview is the lens that we make sense of life and should be intentional as we adopt a philosophy of life that is informed by something greater than ourselves as Christ should be our example, according to 1 Peter 2:21 “for [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His footsteps” (Amplified Version). For this reason, our moral compass when based on a biblical worldview should influence how we approach making decisions as it pertains to business ethics (Porter,2013). To what extent do your personal religious (or non-religious) beliefs about life impact your sense of business ethics and personal decision-making? Every decision that I reach
