1st of January 2014
Prepared by the Office of IOC Movement Supervisor
Instaurare Omnia in Christo(IOC) Movement.
Hesed(Mercy) we(and) shalom(Peace),
Introduction.
This day(1st of January 2014) is a very blessed day to all of us
Catholics and fellow friends who is inside and outside of IOC Movement,
as we all are celebrating Octave of Solemn Christmas: Solemnity of
Mary;Mother of God, by Rubrics of Venerable Pope Paul VI. Following the
Rubrics of Pope Pius X and for Blessed Pope John XXIII, the Universal
Calendar of the Church is for Solemnity of the Circumcision of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Today as well, as did the Circumcision of our Lord Jesus
Christ is the Old Covenant of His holy people, we are ought to
'circumcise' our own soul imbued with the New Testament: The Holy
Sacrament of Baptism, where we are baptized " In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." .
Part One: Dogma of the Most Holy Trinity; One God, in Credo.
"Credo" contained the Profession of Faith of the Dogma of the Most Holy
Trinity on which it is consisted of Oneness of God in "Sh'ma Yisrael"
and in The Most Holy Trinity of "Credo", where One God is three in
Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
It is our great hope and
from our deepest heart that today is proclaimed as the Day where this
Norm of "Credo" is promulgated in our Highest Decree. We instill this
throughout this Year 2014 and the future onwards, a Norm to be observed
by all of us in order to save soul using our faithfulness as His
Catholic Church. We have a Covenant between us; Baptized Catholics, with
God in Catholic Faith to be His Mystical Body: One, Holy, Catholic and
Apostolic Church: the Catholic Church.
The weakness of us became
obstacles indirectly towards this noble intention for all of the time in
previous Year 2013, therefore, today is the day, and this Year 2014 is
the Year it should be decreed.
"Credo" is the Most Profound
Proclamation of our Faith where we are confessing, expressing, and
steadfast in our Catholic Faith. Without "Credo", we are being no longer
as Catholics, when we are started despising or neglecting this most
ancient received Holy Tradition to all of us as Catholic. "Credo" that
we meant here is the one that been confirmed and professed in Year 381
A.D during the Holy Dogmatic and Ecumenical Council of Nicea and later
in Holy Dogmatic and Ecumenical First Council of Constantinople; known
as "Symbolum Nicaenum"(Nicene Creed), and also highly acceptable is the
Symbolum Apostolicum(Apostle's Creed) mainly used by Roman Church under
the Holy Apostolic See of St.Peter.
"Credo" in its first
sentence is “Credo in Unum Deum” which is the Main Catholic Prayer that
is translated into English as "I believe in One God". We must firmly
professing which God that we are truly believe? Which Saviour that has
saves us until now; in a bloody and unbloody way? Which one is the
hyspostasis of One Godhead that strengthen us as His New Tablet of
Commandment; a living and organic Stone Tablet of His? Which one is the
Only Church that our Lord Jesus Christ has established on Earth as His
Mystical Body? Which Faith being the One True Faith that we are living
right now? Which one would be really the Catholic activities or not?
Which Lord God that we knew in the centre of us all while we are doing
Holy Devotionals, and Charitable Programs in our Holy Mission?
We are receiving nothing new, it is indeed the same Catholic and Apostolic Faith that we have received.
Part Two: Unity in Catholic Faith by One True Faith in Credo.
To keep our Catholic Faith in the rightful place as One True Faith,
he(St.Gregory of Nazianzen) has defended our Catholic Faith against
heresies. This is the main reason for this Official Decree is to be
implemented, to state our inner desires in Unity of Faith in IOC
Movement in embracing fully of our One True Faith; the Catholic Faith.
It is a very heart(Primo Cor Sponsa) of this Catholic Organisation in
here at Sabah and Sarawak; the IOC Movement, that under her tiny hands
that all Catholics seeking for the truths will be united under One
Baptism, One True Faith;the Catholic Faith, and therefore is in One
"Credo".
Therefore,
This "Credo" must be observed and said
wholeheartedly during any Holy Mission of us approaching every soul;
especially for our First Campaign of IOC Movement:
"To promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo) ".
This "Credo" is already in effect universally by the Universal
Church(the Catholic Church) even before this Official Norm of IOC
Movement is mentioned on this Official Decree of IOC Movement, only that
we are asked once again to observe the same Catholic Faith that the
Holy Apostles, Church Fathers, numerous saints and martyrs have died
for. In this same Holy Tradition that is passed to that both [Holy
Dogmatic and Ecumenical Council of Nicea] at 325 AD and later in[Holy
Dogmatic and Ecumenical First Council of Constantinople] at 381 AD, it
is too must be proclaimed to the whole human creature of our authentic
Apostolic Catholic Faith.
Promulgation.
Brothers and sisters in IOC Movement,
Now, this Official Decree has 'circumcised' your heart and mine to
re-professing and re-proclaiming the same Apostolic Catholic Faith on
which the New Covenant is in its entirety embraced by our body and soul.
Therefore, before we are using Papal Bull Apostolic Constitution: Quo
Primum, and Motu Proprio: Summorum Pontificum, for our Holy Mission, it
is profoundly better for us to fix our heart by 'circumcising' it with
"Credo" of Catholic Faith first and foremost: the Sign of the Cross,
embedded into our soul, then we will able to see clearer that not only
by promoting and installing Traditional Latin Mass should we need to
give a due care in our Cause, there is more to it. It is the Holy
Catholic Faith: preserves by Holy Tradition, Holy Scriptures and Holy
Magisterium of Catholic Church.
Thus,
This Decree is
enacted, decreed and promulgated, and is effective immediately starting
today(1st of January 2014) towards our Holy Missions and thereby this
Second Campaign of IOC Movement is named:
" Credo in Unum Deum: Patris†, et Fillii†,et Spiritus Sancti† ."
Conclusion.
On this great Solemnity day, while we are having this Decree, there are
many holy people of God as an instrument of God in their Zeal towards
God has been defending Catholic Faith to be passed to all of us; who is
still living in this Year 2014. This Norm is already within us in this
Catholic Organisation in here at Sabah and Sarawak; the IOC Movement,
through her Constitutional Body that serving her; the IOC Movement
Administrators Board.
We give thanks to our God the Most
Blessed Holy Trinity; One God, through His Great Mercy in our Lord Jesus
Christ; who has became our Good Shepherd all of this time in Year 2013,
that we have started some of our Holy Mission in this lowly and humble
'abode' of us; both Office of IOC Movement Supervisor and IOC Movement
Administrator Board.
We are grateful as well that all of us
have been illuminated by the Faithfulness of God in preserving His
Covenant with us through His Solemn Circumcision and His Solemn Holy
Baptism. By that, He shows to us of how He is Zeal towards His Own
Promise and His Covenant with His holy people. With One Real Truth; the
Catholic Faith, "Credo" has made us becoming a faithful Catholics that
is bearing the Covenant of Baptism after we received the Holy Sacrament
of Baptism. For without His Holy Ghost, we are still 'blinded' by our
own weakness. We welcome Him; The Creator Spirit, in our highest latria
by "Veni Creator Spiritus" to be invoked for His tenderness in guiding
us and inspires us in our Holy Mission(s).
May this "Credo"
will become the 'Heart of Holy Mission' of everyone of us, be it in the
Most Holy Rosary(and any Holy Devotionals), be it on "Imploring Sacred
Music", and all of the Holy Mission. For without this "Credo", we are
not able to move deeper: “Duc in Altum”, and to be enlightened by the
fruits of the Holy Ghost in our Cause.
‘Credo in Unum Deum’ ,
‘Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum' , 'Et in Spíritum Sanctum' , 'Et
unam, sanctam, cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam.'
