Baptism of Our Lord
An Occasion To Reflect On Our Own Baptism
We are children of God. The Spirit of God lives within each one of us. We are invited to have Jesus as one of our friends.
Morning Prayer
Father in Heaven, You love me. You are with me night and day. I want to love You always in all I do and say.
I will try to please you, Father. Bless me through the day. Amen.
We do not have to face the ups and downs of life on our own. We are baptised into each other. We journey in Faith together. We hopefully inspire each other and draw from the Faith of each other. We pray together so that we may keep the flame of Faith alive in our hearts. As Godparents we try to support the well-being of our Godchild.
NOTICES
Brothers of Charity will take your Christmas cards and any other cards plus stamps. Box at Back of Church.
