Redeeming The Time

A short catechesis on Baptism, then the good stuff. We explain how man was created, the consequence of the Fall, the need for Baptism, and signs at the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ that prove that Baptism effects a momentous change in man. Then we discuss the greatest fruit of baptism - to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and use examples from the Scriptures read today, as well as the words of Job: "Verily, while my breath is yet in me, and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils, my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts." (Job 27:3-4)
