ENCOUNTER
Got questions about life? Everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.
GROW
Amazed at the work of the Holy Spirit in our parish, weโre convinced that God is leading us into a time of formation, becoming missionary disciples necessary for the transformation of life and culture.
WITNESS
Only love is credible. The Church from the beginning stood out because of the love that they had for their contemporaries.

The modern life and business of daily living can weigh us down, leave us feeling disoriented, restless or tired. The things of this world will never deeply satisfy, truly only Jesus does. Battle back the weariness and the restlessness, live a set-apart life, by encountering Jesus at Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) through any of the following.
_____
P.S.
๐ Set aside time in silence with Jesus anytime during the week at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel; dial down from the business of life, and take a brief or long respite by having conversations with Jesus. Bring before Him whatever is on your mind and heart. Then, and most importantly, give the Lord the space to respond speaking to you in the silence.
๐ Feel free to share this.

What is the Baptism of the Lord?
In the liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord signifies the end of the Christmas season. The Baptism of the Lord is notable because it marks the beginning of Jesusโ ministry and confirms his identity as the Son of God. This event is documented in all the Gospels except John.
Christโs baptism remarkably shows all three Persons of the Trinity at the same time: the Son being baptized, the Holy Spirit descending, and the Father speaking from the heavens. In this event, the Father and the Holy Spirit confirm the deity of Christ, and Jesus submits to his Fatherโs will.
As we reflect on Christโs baptism, we are reminded of our own baptism. Pope Benedict XVI said on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord:
"[Baptism] is communion with the One who conquered death and holds in his hand the keys of life. Belonging to this circle, to Godโs family, means being in communion with Christ, who is life and gives eternal love beyond death."
Thanks be to God, who has redeemed us from our sins and given us eternal life through Jesus Christ.
