The Feast of the Baptism of our Lord
THE FEAST OF THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD reminds us that the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church are the way in which Our Lord chooses to communicate His life and Love to us in a real and tangible way, im the here and now, that in and through the Sacraments we meet the person of Christ our Lord. The summary paragraph of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (No. 1131) states: The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required
disposition.
