Baptism of the Lord

Our gospel today recounts the story of Jesus’ baptism and the important words spoken by God about Jesus, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Imagine God saying these words to you, “You are my beloved. . . with you I am well pleased.” Take time this week to think about the significance of the sacrament of baptism in your life: becoming a member of the Body of Christ – the Church, being given new life in Christ and marked with the sign of the cross. The grace flowing from baptism enlightens us to know the power of God’s life- giving word and how we are to share it as disciples. While it may be challenging at times to do so, we have been given the grace to live out our baptismal call in our interactions with others. So, what are we waiting for?

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Saint Christine’s Church will take place every Thursday. Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 am, followed by Adoration at 10:30 am and ending with Benediction at 6:45 pm. Come and spend some heart-to-heart time with Jesus.
