This is how we live our baptism.
It is difficult to walk against the tide. Yet, that is precisely
what baptism calls us to do. Although we are sinners, in
need of mercy and far from perfection we are called to
order our life and make decisions based upon the wisdom
and guidance of Almighty God. He alone is the one who
can claim us as His sons and daughters. Standing up for

ST. PETER PARISH SAN FELIPE DE JES ÚS
When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers
each celebration of the Eucharist for a particular per-
son, or intention. By doing so he applies special graces
from God upon that person or intention. Similar to how
we are able to intercede for others by our personal
prayers, the Church is able to intercede for us through
the celebration of the Mass.

Christian initiation that completes, or confirms, the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism.
