Personnel
WEEK 10 – BAPTISM

April 16, 2021, 8:00-9:00 a.m


 
We are in our 10th week of DICES Christian
Formation for Personnel. As a community
of Gurong DICES, let us continue to share
the fruits of our reflection based on the
message of Fr. Dominador “Jun” Duroy, Jr.
given last Friday, April 9, 2021 during the
Mass, with the topic “BAPTISM,” in line
with the celebration of the 500th year of
Christianity in the Philippines.
Baptism is God's most beautiful and magnificent gift…
we call it gift, grace, anointing, enlightenment, garment
of immortality, bath of rebirth, seal, and most precious
gift. It is called gift because it is conferred on those who
bring nothing of their own; grace since it is given even
to the guilty; Baptism because sin is buried in the
water; anointing for it is priestly and royal as are those
who are anointed; enlightenment because it radiates
light; clothing since it veils our shame; bath because it
washes; and seal as it is our guard and the sign of God's
Lordship.

Let us remember that we are in the
holy and loving presence of God.
 
+ In the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Almighty Father, we know we are sinners,
despite our unworthiness, You still give us
Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to
save us by His death on the cross.
 
Please forgive us, continue to wash away
our sin, and make our hearts clean. May
the grace of Baptism strengthen our faith.
Make us all witnesses of Your saving power
of love, mercy, and compassion.
Make us faithful to our baptismal promises
to always believe in You and to the mission
entrusted to us by the Holy Mother Church.
 
We make this prayer through our Lord
Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit. One God,
forever and ever. Amen.
 
Guide Questions for Reflection/Sharing
(5 minutes of silence and to journal your
reflection)
1. Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation into our
Catholic faith, do you remember your baptism or the
baptism of your children? How did you feel when you or
they were getting baptized?
 
2. God anointed Jesus with the holy spirit and power, we
received the same anointing at our baptism and
confirmation. How are you using your God-given gifts to
build His kingdom?
 
3. What are the challenges or obstacles in your life that
keep you from becoming living witnesses of the Gospel
values?

Closing Prayer
 
Loving God, we thank You for your love, that we have become
sons and daughters of Yours. We pray for those who have been
baptized today in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. May they walk forward, cleansed of sin, embraced, and
loved by You. May they follow Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
guiding their paths. And may they be filled by the Holy Spirit,
flowing with love and grace. Enkindle in us the fire of Your love,
so that we may fully become living witnesses and the children of
light. We ask You these through our Jesus Christ, the Risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, now
and forever. Amen.
