Yesterday we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord. As Christian’s we are Easter people. Sprinkled with Easter water, we are strengthened in faith to serve the Lord and one another.
We also renew our baptismal promises. Let me ask you a few questions:
Do you reject Satan, including all of his works and his empty promises?
Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth?
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father?
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
I Do!
With a resounding “I do!,” may these promises live on in our hearts.
God, the all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and forgiven all our sins. May he also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever.
Amen
