Today we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, when Mary and Joseph presented their son Jesus at the temple, according to the rites of the Law of Moses. It was not until he was an adult that Jesus would be baptised by his cousin John the Baptist.
In today's video Pope Francis asks us to remember the day we were baptised. For most of us that would be when our parents brought us to church, and in the presence of family and friends and with the support of your Godparents they made baptismal promises on your behalf. When we get confirmed we say the Amen to these promises. For adults you'll have made the promises for yourself. We renew these promises during the Easter Vigil service
During the coming week we'll share memories and more about our baptism.
