The Baptism of the Lord

With His baptism in the Jordan, Jesus begins his public ministry proclaiming the kingdom and mercy of God with the knowledge that He is the beloved son of God the Father. We proclaim the kingdom and mercy of God when we live with the hope and confidence of knowing we are loved deeply as God’s daughters and sons.

322 Holy Hours were kept with Our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration last week. Pope Francis gave a list of ten suggestions for New Year resolutions, and this was the first on his list "Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the backbone of everything we do and everything we are.” Spending an hour before the Blessed Sacrament is a great way to start!

Please contact Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926 if you are interested in becoming an adorer.
