Baptism

Today was a special day! 

At the time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.  As Jesus was coming up out of the water he saw heaven being torn open And The Spirit descending on him like a dove.  And a voice came from heaven, "You are my son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
Mark 1:9-11

The greatest part was that my dad was included in the officiating (like he has been for the other two boys) and he not only got choked-up when pouring the water on his head, but after making the sign of the cross on his ear and lips he bent down to kiss his forehead.  It was such a thing of pure beauty!!

Being that we forgot our camera we don't have any pictures of the ceremony.  But luckily phones with cameras were available afterwards for group shots.

Welcome to God's Family Mason Peter. 

P.s.  Termination of parental rights happens Tuesday!!! :o)
