BAPTISM OF THE LORD

Is 40: 1-5, 9-11
Ps 104: 1-4, 24-30
Ti 2: 11-14; 3: 4-7
Lk 3: 15-22

At our baptism we were given the name of a saint who will protect us. Our life and salvation were placed under his or her custody and protection. We owe them our admiration, imitation and prayers (BM, pp 423-424).

FROM FATHER TOM:  And also, I suppose some awareness of who they were plus their life and miracles--there are many "Thomases" but mine is Thomas Aquinas who worked no miracles and was--it is said--grossly overweight.
