Baptism of the Lord Sunday

We don’t always appreciate the sacrament of baptism as much as we can. It is a sacrament where heaven is opened up to us, where the Holy Spirit descends upon us, and where we hear God say, “You are my beloved child, with you I am well pleased.” How did we receive this great gift? Through God humbling himself and becoming one with those in need.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog. Here I hope you will find things useful for our walk with the Lord. May we be transformed in the Father's love through his Word and his Spirit.

Readings for the Memorial of Saint Peter Claver, Priest [In the Dioceses of the United States] Reading 1 1 Corinthians 7:25-31 Brothers and sisters:In regard to virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord,but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.So this is what I think best because of the present distress:that it is a good thing for a person to remain as he is.Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek a separation.Are you free of a wife? Then do not look for a wife.If you marry, however, you do not sin,nor does an unmarried woman sin if she marries;but such people will experience affliction in their earthly life,and I would like to spare you that.I tell you, brothers, the time is running out.From now on, let those having wives act as not having them,those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing,those buying as not owning,those using the world as not using it fully.For the world in its present form is passing away.  Responsorial Psalm Psalm 45:11-12, 14-15, 16-17 R. (11) Listen to me, daughter; see and bend your ear.Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,forget your people and your father’s house.So shall the king desire your beauty;for he is your lord, and you must worship him.R. Listen to me, daughter; see and bend your ear.All glorious is the king’s daughter as she enters;her raiment is threaded with spun gold.In embroidered apparel she is borne in to the king;behind her [...]
