BAPTISMS

"There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God who is Father of all."

 

The above painting depicting Baptism is in the Sanctuary of Blessington Church.
The Shankill River at Cloghlea Bridge. The Spirit of God in the clear running water.

 

Congratulations to the parents of the following children who were baptised in Church of Our Lady last month and welcome into the Christian community:

We ask Gods blessing on them and their families in the years ahead.

The mystery of the life of the river, the flowing water, the mystery of spiritual birth, the life of God's Spirit in me... because of my Baptism. Nothing can stop or hold back the life of the water, the life of God's Spirit within me. Just as the rocks and boulders are used by the artist to give shape to his painting, so God can use even what is negative in me to give shape and beauty to my life. In the rocky pool - the Church - there is life, there is healing. I may be only a pebble in the pool, but I am part of something wonderful, great and life-giving. In the rocky pool I am part of the very existence of God.
