YEAR OF FAITH 2012- 2013

THE OFFICIAL LOGO FOR THE YEAR OF FAITH:

CONCEPT OF THE LOGO
The logo is composed of a square, bordered field on which a boat, symbolizing the Church, is represented as sailing on a graphically minimal representation of waves. The main mast of the boat is a cross from which sails are displayed in the form of dynamic signs which compose the trigram of Christ (IHS). The background to the sails is a sun which, associated with the trigram, refers also to the Eucharist.
OFFICIAL HYMN FOR THE YEAR OF FAITH

CREDO, DOMINE

1. Pilgrims we, full of expectation,
searching in the darkness.
Lord, you come, revealing the Father,
You for us are Son of the Most High.

With the saints who are walking with us,
O Lord, we ask:
Adauge, adauge nobis fidem!
Credo Domine, adauge nobis fidem!

2. Pilgrims we, lost and despairing,
what bread for our journey?

With Mary, the first of all believers,
O Lord, we pray:
Adauge, adauge nobis fidem!

our wounds open still.

You for us are the hand that heals.

With the humble who wish to be born anew,
O Lord, we plead:

for each new Pentecost.

You for us are the hope of salvation.
