BAPTISM OF THE LORD

The Baptism of the Lord is referred often to as another Epiphany. Jesus is identified by His Father as the beloved Son of God. It is a sign for Jesus to begin his journey to the Cross. After Jesus will die the waters of baptism will not only wash our sins but will also give us the new life in the Holy Spirit.

Do you know where you were baptised? Who were your godparents? Perhaps you still have your baptismal candle, or the original certificate?

I was born in Kostrzyn Nad Odra, west of Poland where two great rivers Odra and Warta meet. This is the border town with Germany.
   There was only one church in the city then, Our Lady Mother of the Church Parish. The old church was small, red brick. and I was baptised there on June 20, 1962 couple of days after my birth. I received the Sacrament of Holy Communion there also, but I was confirmed in the new church on October 1st, 1976. Can you identify me on my First Holy Communion photo? It shouldn’t be difficult :)
