LIVE THE LITURGY -
Inspiration for the Week
We carry a greater depth of
self-confidence and chance
of succeeding when we have
affirmation, a sense of
direction and clear
purpose in life.
Each of these serve to
provide our lives with
meaning, allowing us to
clearly establish priorities
and goals.
They also are necessary for
integrity, which is the convic-
tion and single mindedness
that keeps us grounded in
the truth of who we are.
“You are my beloved Son;
with you I am well pleased.”
Jesus’ baptism provides him
with exactly what he needs
to get about the business
of his mission as the
Son of God.
He is given what he needs
to be successful in fulfilling
the purpose for which he
was sent.
Our baptisms give us these
same gifts.
We receive the affirmation
we need from God, knowing
that we are one of his
beloved daughters and sons.
We are gifted with the
direction and clear purpose
we need in order to be
productive stewards and
faithful Christians.
Are we ready and willing to
answer the call?
