Blog Post 1/08/2024 – The Baptism of the Lord, the Christmas Season Ends.


 

Today our Christmas Season ends, and I hope that your Christmas Season was a blessed one.  May 2024 be a year filled with God’s Grace and may the Holy Spirit guide you in living your Baptismal Promises.  

Ordinarily we renew our Baptismal promises on Easter Sunday, but as we celebrate the Lord’s Baptism let’s take a few minutes to renew our Baptismal Promises and commit to living them more fully and faithfully this year, and so:
V. Do you renounce sin, so as to live in the freedom of the children of God?
R. I do.

V. Do you renounce the lure of evil, so that sin may have no mastery over you?
R. I do.

V. Do you renounce Satan, the author and prince of sin?
R. I do.

V. Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth?
R. I do.

V. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered death and was buried, rose again from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father?

R. I do.

V. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
R. I do.

V. And may almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us new birth by water and the Holy Spirit and bestowed on us forgiveness of our sins, keep us by his grace,
in Christ Jesus our Lord, for eternal life.
R. Amen.

Now as the Lord walks with you, do you best to live your PROMISES.

May God Be Praised.
