Today’s Gospel is the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. Father Ed Broom reminds us that there has never been more difficult times in the history of the world than today. We need to stay close to God. If we don’t, who else is going to save us? Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world! Therefore, we have to live our baptismal promises and help our children live theirs. Teach them how to pray! Show them how to live close to God by praying with them, and by giving them good example by living a life of virtue and good works. We must be the light in the darkness for our children and for the whole world!
