Happy Birthday!

As my grandson who is not quite four wished everyone a happy birthday on Easter Sunday morning, I thought “How appropriate”, remembering how last night at the Easter Vigil Mass I renewed my Baptismal promises. How grateful I was, and thanked God for my parents who had me Baptised all those years ago.  Being brought into the church through baptism we become a member of a bigger family,  the family of God.  Of course not all families are perfect, and it can be very hard to love everybody and to be the kind of person God wants me to be. But I can always turn to Him and start again when I fail.

I love my faith as it has brought me to know the love God has for me. To all who were Baptised and brought into the church last night all I can say is “Happy Birthday”.
