BAPTIZED INTO THE LORD

Brothers and sister:
Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, 
so that, just as Christ was raised from dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.

If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.  We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him. As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life,
he lives for God. Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.  Mass Readings

Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for creating this awareness in me, that I am
baptized into your body.  Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for the privilege
of knowledge. Father in heaven help live the life I am called upon to live
 through through Jesus Christ I pray.  Man is lonely by Birth


When Christ became man, he uplifted man's nature together with all its vital activities.
He changed man's suffering into his Passion. Man's suffering became redemptive.
