A Six Week Meditation on the Sacrament of Holy Baptism

Thought for the Day from Bulletin Cover:

            In the first place, you must note in these words (Mt. 28:19, Mk. 16:16) that here stand God’s commandment and institution.  Let us not doubt that Baptism is divine.  It is not made up or invented by people.  For as surely as I can say, “No one has spun the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer out of his head; they are revealed and given by God Himself.”  So also I can boast that Baptism is no human plaything, but is instituted by God himself.
