The Creed for children

                         
When we recite the Creed during Mass or during the Rosary, we underestimate the fact that most young children do not understand it well. So, someone came up with the idea of devising a children’s version of the Creed, a simplified way of learning what we believe in.

I believe that God is the best Father I can ever have.
He gave me this beautiful world where I can live and grow in.
The best gift He gave me was His Son, Jesus Christ.
He became a child like many of us children.
He had a mother who loved Him dearly, and her name as Mary.
And her husband, named Joseph, took good care of them both.
Because of our evil ways and mistakes,
This Jesus suffered a lot.
The bad people crucified Him, He died and was buried in a grave.
But after three days, He became alive again, and continued to live among us.
He opened the way to heaven, and then He went to His Father,
Where He is awaiting us all to be with Him.
Slowly, slowly, all the people will eventually meet Him again,
And they will recognize the good and bad things they did in their lives.
To be able to live a good life, He gave us many opportunities:
He placed in our hearts the spirit of Love.
He gave us the church, so that it can help us live like Him.
He gave us a family of friends, so that we can grow with them,
and they would forgive us when we make mistakes and misbehave.
So when we leave this world, we will live with Him, happily,
Always, always, always.
