Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Today, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, and this concludes the
Christmas celebration of the Church.
We just celebrated Jesus’ Birth, the coming of the Shepherds and the Three Wise Men and now we look at Jesus 30 years old and preparing to spent three years, teaching,
working miracles, founding the Catholic church and getting ready to be killed on the cross and to rise from the dead, to save all people who will allow Him to forgive them.
Between now and Wednesday, February 18th, Ash Wednesday, we will learn about His teachings and actions that will bring salvation to the whole world.
Jesus did not have sin and did not need to be Baptized, but asked John the Baptist to baptize Him to show us He is truly one of us and does not want to do what He will ask us to do.
When Jesus came up from the water and behold, the heaven was opened for him, and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon Him. And a voice came from the heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
This event gives us soundproof of who Jesus Christ really is and why I should believe in Him and follow His teachings, that He gives to us with great love.
Today, we should give thanks to God that we have been Baptized and became children of our loving God.
Some Things to Reflect Upon:
· Do I know when and where I was Baptized?
· Do I know the Church, the country, the city etc.?
· Do I know my Godparents?
· Do I at my age now know and feel the graces that came to me and remain with me throughout my life?
· If I am not Baptized, yes, I can still be, no matter my age and do I want to?
Happy Baptism
