WWW.STANDREWCATHOLICCHURCH.ORG | (843) 448-5930 | 3501 N KINGS HWY, SUITE 102, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577 May 5, 2019 Dear Friends in Christ, I was baptized on March 26, 2005 during the Easter Vigil Mass at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Houston by Cardinal Archbishop Daniel DiNardo. I remember the night most vividly: the blessing of the new fire and the paschal candle on the steps of the church in the dimming dusk; the darkness of the church slowly illuminated as the Light of Christ spread from candle to candle; the procession of the catechumens in the wake of the paschal light toward the font of rebirth; the water trickling over my forehead as the words of baptism were pronounced, and me worried about getting my tie in the font, and the sweet smell of the sacred chrism of my anointing and Confirmation, which lingered on the ride home, and even until the next morning. Since that time, I have sought to give my life entirely to Jesus Christ and His Gospel, and to live according to the dignity of that baptism, to know ever more deeply in what font I have been washed, by whose Spirit I have been reborn, by whose Blood I have been redeemed. I have failed at this endeavor many times and in many ways. Nevertheless, my rebirth in the waters of baptism is the central, defining fact of my life, to which, by God’s grace, I always return. In fact, the moment of baptism is the central and defining reality of all our lives. It is in this moment that the supernatural life of sacramental grace begins in us, and we became a new creature, born again from above. But, despite this significance, many Catholics have no memory of their baptism, because our theology of baptism encourages us to baptize our children as infants. So, as we go throughout this Easter season, which is a season especially focused on baptism, I would encourage each of you who were baptized as infants to find out a few details about your baptism. If your parents and godparents are still living, talk to them about that day. Find out at what church you were baptized, on what date, and the name of the priest who baptized you. Offer prayers to God through the intercession of the patron of your church of baptism. Keep the day of your baptism each year as a birthday, the day of second birth. Pray for the ministry of the priest who baptized you, or, if he has gone to his reward, pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. Also, please pray for the catechumens from our parish who were baptized at the Easter Vigil, that the life of grace that began in them that holy night may flourish and be a leven for the world. Dear friends, by water and the Holy Spirit we have been freed from the bonds of sin and death, and set on a path that leads to our final end: to stand in the presence of God, to see Him face to face and sing His praises. This Easter season, let us give thanks to God for our rebirth in the healing waters of baptism. Fr.

Recuerdo la noche más significante en mí vida: la bendición del nuevo fuego y la vela pascual en los escalones de la iglesia en la penumbra; la oscuridad de la iglesia se iluminó lentamente cuando la Luz de Cristo se extendió de vela en vela; la procesión de los catecúmenos a raíz de la luz pascual hacia la fuente del renacimiento; el agua corría por mi frente mientras se pronunciaban las palabras del bautismo, y me preocupaba que me atara la fuente, y el dulce aroma del sagrado crisma de mi unción y confirmación, que persistía en el viaje a casa, e incluso hasta el la mañana siguiente.
