Mary is the lily in God’s garden. There is no sinner in the world, however much at enmity with God, who cannot recover God’s grace by recourse to Mary, and by asking her assistance - Saint Bridget of Sweden
So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ today, let us once again meditate on the importance and significance of the Sacrament of Baptism in our lives as Catholic Christians and strive to utilize its fruits to proclaim and live out the Gospel of Christ in our world today.
My brothers and sisters, as we celebrate Christ, the King of Kings in our lives today, let us be His loyal and faithful servants, who will truly work for Him in establishing His kingdom on earth when we go out and proclaim His kingdom that is eternal, universal, holy, grace filled, just, loving and peaceful to the world.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to wake up and like Jesus, reemphasize the importance of the Sacrament of Matrimony in our lives as Catholic Christians because this sacrament reflects God's self-giving love in the love spouses have for each other; in the act of procreation and in the act of educating our children in the Catholic faith.
