Bleed the Creed

When St. Peter Martyr was on his way to Milan he was attacked by Manichaen heretics by receiving a blow to the head with an ax. Before being stabbed in the heart and dying, he dipped his finger in his own blood and began to write the Creed on the ground: "Credo in Deum". Moments like this are helpful to remember when praying the Creed at Mass - the example of the saints such as this can help us not to zone out, but instead receive it deeper into our hearts.
