The Baptism Of The Lord January 10, 2016 What s the buzz Tell me what s happening...? On this day a special Mass is said in the Catholic Church to commemorate the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. The heavens opened and the Eternal Father s voice was heard to say, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. In dramatic simplicity and clear revelation, the voice of God the Father let us know that the Child of Mary the Virgin is both true God and true Man. No one who does not believe this can be saved. The Baptism of Jesus also commemorates the institution of the sacrament of Baptism of Baptism by water, essentially necessary for salvation. The presence of Jesus in the River Jordan sanctified, on this day, all the water of the world for this purpose. Most of us are back to work and the parish office is open! The ARCH Co-op will be resuming classes here at St. Elizabeth s as well as other schools around the area. Don t forget about the St. Elizabeth of Hungary website. Father Martin s homilies can be found there. I enjoyed listening to them while out of town. There is a link under the ministries tab that will direct you to the Catholic Renewal Center that is now being housed at the Convent. You can find more information about what is happening there.
