Baptism of our lord

This feast is celebrated the Sunday after Epiphany and celebrates when John the Baptist baptizes Our Lord.

To Pray
Collect: Almighty ever-living God, who, when Christ had been baptized in the River Jordan and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him your beloved Son, grant that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, may always be well pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

To Do:We can renew our own baptism vows by reading them together at dinner or prayers this evening.Remind your children that this is what you said for them when they were baptized, and they now have the responsibility of taking these vows on their own now that they are older.

Here is the Catholic rite of Renewal of Baptismal Promises:

Do you reject Satan? 
I do. 
And all his works? 
I do. 
And all his empty promises? 
I do. 
Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth? 
I do. 
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?
I do. 
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.
