Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy spirit. I believe that your Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths, which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because you have revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.

May I humbly suggest that you revisit your faith; because youre prayer doesn't sound like the kind of prayer of those in New Testament times.
Seeing that ...
1) The Scriptures do not speak of the one GOD as "three Divine Persons"
Rather, the Bible states that there is but one GOD, the Father!
(1 Cor 8:6) But to us there is but one God, the Father, ...
Jesus himself calls the Father,
the only true GOD!!
[John 17.3]
2) The Bible nowhere speaks of a
"Divine Son becoming man "
Rather, the angel Gabriel explained to Mary, that the holy spirit which is the power of the ONE GOD, the Father; would overshadow Mary, and as a result of the miraculous conception that would happen inside of Mary without any male intervention; the child that Mary would give birth to, would be called
'the Son of GOD!'
[Luke 1.35]
So, the Scriptures show a human boy being begotten by the power of the One GOD. Jesus, therefore, is literally, the Son of GOD.
There is no talk of some being becoming man in Scripture; although Paul does warn of such a concept in Acts 14.11-15.
3) The Holy Catholic Church teaches a lot of traditions which do not come from Scripture.
Even John of Damascus said:
"Where do you find in the Old Testament or in the Gospel the Trinity, or consubstantiality, or one Godhead, or three persons, or the one substance of Christ, or His two natures, expressed in so many words? Still, as they are contained in what Scripture does say, and defined by the holy fathers, we receive them and anathematise those who do not."
John of Damascus clearly states the fact that the Trinity, three persons, two natures, are not expressed in so many words in Scripture.
But because the so-called holy fathers of the Holy Catholic Church defines them; Catholics must receive them and anathematise/condemn those who do not!!!
I ask you,
Is this what the Bible teaches?
Rather ...
(1 Tim 6:3-4) If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings ...
(2 John 1:9-11) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
The catholic church does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ;
because Jesus & his disciples never ever taught the trinity, three divine persons, a divine son becoming man;
yet the catholic church does!
Who ought we to believe?
Jesus the Christ our Lord
or the catholic church?
Does one stick to the scriptural doctrine of Christ, in order to have both the Father and the Son.
Or does one continue in the erroneous, nonscriptural traditions of the catholic church?
The choice is ours.
And we know Jesus had no good thing to say about traditions that did not originate from GOD!!
Consider these things:
