(When praying in a community The Apostle’s Creed should be recited by everyone. Then one person should lead praying ‘Inflame us O Lord in faith’ and the rest of the community should respond with ‘by the fire of your divine love’. When praying alone, the prayer can be recited as ‘Inflame me O Lord in faith, by the fire of your divine love’.)
