Baptism: Entering the Church

Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/readings/calendar

This weekend we celebrate Jesus' Baptism - this feast is a wonderful reminder of our own Baptism and the significance of it.

Pretty much all of us know and celebrate our birthday, but how many of us know the date of our Baptism?  Our Baptism date really marks the most important day of our lives as it is the day we are made members of Christ's Church - the Catholic Church. 

The Catechism states that “Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation.” (CCC 1272)
