God’s Children
We close the Christmas Season with this feast of the Baptism of Jesus. The Church wants to celebrate and again reminds us of God’s great gift – God’s only Son came to be with us to make us children of God.
In the Collect (opening prayer) of the Mass, we pray that as God’s children, we “may always be well pleasing to” God. Then, after Communion, we pray again, that “we may be [God’s] children in name and in truth.”
Many people today still need to know that they and all people are God’s children. We can do that when we treat ourselves and others as children of God.
