FBP 1011 - Baptism Is Who You Are

Written By William Holtzinger

Episode 1011 (17:02)

In this episode: Jesus' baptism; A baptism where a father lifts up his son to show his beloved son; What is baptism? Do you remember your baptism? If you were baptized, know that fact and be aware that God's grace has changed you because of it; It is not just a symbol, but the outpouring of God’s sanctifying grace; Special praise and worship song in light of the readings of the Mass for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
