In the Creed, time is counted by heart throbs that beat for whom?

In the Creed, time is counted by heart throbs that beat for whom?

• A. God and man
• B. Duty alone
• C. God, man, and duty
• D. The fraternity

Answer: (C)

The line in the Creed measures life by the heart’s devotion to three enduring commitments: God, man, and duty. The idea is that true time isn’t tracked by clocks but by how deeply you care for spiritual guidance, how you serve and care for others, and how faithfully you uphold your responsibilities and principles. This triad shows a balanced life—a moral compass (God), concern for others (man), and steadfast obligation to duties (duty). That’s why the complete phrase includes all three. If you omitted any one piece, you’d lose part of the lived meaning the Creed calls you to: belief and spirituality, service to people, and fidelity to duties. The fraternity itself isn’t the object of the heart’s measures here; it’s the threefold focus of God, man, and duty that the Creed elevates as the standard by which a life is measured.
