Feast of the Baptism of the Lord

Published: Jan. 12, 2014, 8 p.m.

January 12, 2014 - During the Christmas season, we are invited to become messengers of Christ, not mere observers. Mary accepted the service that the Spirit asked of her despite the risk she incurred, and became herself a servant, for example, by comforting her cousin. We too must take risks in the name of our Lord. And, like the babies baptised today, we must grow in the size and weight of our spirituality. Preacher: Fr. Nathan Castle, OP, Pastor and Director of the Catholic Community at Stanford
