Baptism of the Lord

Reflection

“Baptism is the door of the spiritual life and the gateway to the sacraments.” – Thomas Aquinas

Prayer

God of New Life,

We are called to live a baptismal life in and through the work we do each day, and in the personal lives that we lead. Guide us to be sacramental people, ready to become outward signs of your love to all those we meet. As we care for the sick and dying this day, let our words and comforting touch make your love and compassion tangible for others. Help us to remember that though we may not always be able to cure, we can always care. Amen.
