<Dd> This is our faith . This is the faith of the Church . We are proud to profess it, in Christ Jesus our Lord . </Dd> <P> And all respond: Amen . </P> <P> Since the 2002 edition, the Apostles' Creed is included in the Roman Missal with the indication, "Instead of the Niceno - Constantinopolitan Creed, especially during Lent and Easter time, the baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles' Creed, may be used ." Previously the Nicene Creed was the only profession of faith that the Missal gave for use at Mass, except in Masses for children; but in some countries use of the Apostles' Creed was already permitted . </P> <P> In the 1962 Breviary, authorized by Summorum Pontificum, the Apostles' Creed is recited at Prime and Compline on certain days during Advent and Lent as part of the Preces, a series of versicles and responses preceded by Kyrie, eleison ("Lord, have mercy") and the Our Father . In prior editions, it was also said after the Our Father and Hail Mary before Matins and Prime, and after Compline . </P>
