Heavenly Father,

We thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples. You have charged us through Your Son, Jesus, and his shepherds, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.

Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern Your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish communities. Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve You.

We entrust our parish families to the care of Mary, our Mother and ask for her intercession and guidance as we strive to bear witness to the Gospel, celebrating the qualities of each faith-filled community and together building an engaging parish.

Amen

Please read the Gospel for this Feast, Luke 3:15-16, 21-22.

Scripture scholars think that Jesus received the baptism of John as a way of identifying with the sinfulness of the human family. He was born a true man, but without sin. When we enter Church and bless ourselves with Holy Water, we are reminding ourselves of our Baptism. There is a Holy Water container in church. If you bring a small bottle, you can fill it and take Holy Water to your home so you can bless your home and family members. If you cannot finds the container, fill a bottle with water and ask the priest to bless it.

Dialogue: Do you recognize the presence of the Holy Trinity in this Gospel? What does their presence tell us about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? We have received the Sacrament of Baptism. What does this scene tell us about our Baptism? Do you know the date of your baptism?

Activity: If you have plants in your home, water them. If we fail the water them, most plants will die. Remind yourself that water brings life. The water of a bath or shower refreshes us, brings life, even more so the water of Baptism brings us life. Parents talk about each of your children’s baptism: where it took place, who were the godparents, show pictures if you have them. If the children have the names of saints, look up the saints on the internet. If there is a picture, you may want to copy it. Make a special dessert to celebrate Jesus’ baptism.
