Mark 9:30-37
30They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; 31for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.” 32But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
33Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” 34But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. 35He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” 36Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
REflections: To follow Jesus mean to be a servant of others.Being disciple means welcoming and honoring children,the lowly and unprotected.It means changing our priorities,standards and goals from the world's to Jesus. Jesus provides u with a wonderful reassurance and promise.when we welcome the lowly,the outcast,the unclean of our society,we welcome Jesus in our life.And in welcoming Jesus,God father,Son and Spirit,comes to dwell in us.
My Son didnt even cry when Father Jim poured the water and blesed him. He was Just looking at him. It is the most wonderful feeling knowing that this is the first gift we can give him.We will definitely try our very best to raise him as a good catholic. Along with his godparents Laura Shields and Anthony Little help. By the end it will be my son's decision later in life if he wants to pursue it.
My husband and i would like to thank everyone who was able to come and joined us celebrate my son's baptism and for those who werent able to.Were thankful for the support and love you have given our son.
