A Congregation at Prayer ~ The First Article of the Apostles' Creed

CATECHESIS NOTES FOR THE FIRST ARTICLE OF THE APOSTLES' CREED -- “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).  Every human life is sacred because God made each one of us, body and soul, in our mother’s womb.  David confesses the Lord’s intimate involvement with the design, intrinsic beauty, and creation of each one of us.  The Lord formed our inward parts, every organ and system of our bodies.  The Lord is the source of all human life and is worthy of our adoration and praise for who He is and for His “marvelous works” that are manifest in the creation of every human being.  From the depths of his soul David knows that his life, and the life of every human being, is completely dependent upon the God of love who designed and made each one of us in His image. (Excerpt from Lutheran Catechesis, Catechist Edition, p. 52b)
