Tenth Anniversary of Holy Sacrament of Baptism : My Profession of Faith

Friday, 19 September 2014 marked the exact ten years since I received the Holy Sacrament of Baptism on Sunday, 19 September 2004.

With this, I renewed my profession of faith before the Holy Gospels, and I ask that all of you will pray for me, that I will continue to grow stronger and deeper in faith, in hope and in love.

‘The almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, has caused you to be born over again of water and the Holy Spirit and pardoned you all your sins. May He now anoint you with the chrism that sanctifies in Christ Jesus our Lord, and bring you to everlasting life.’

‘Take this burning candle as a reminder to keep your baptismal innocence. Obey God’s commandments, so that when our Lord comes for the joyous wedding feast you may go forth to meet Him with all the saints in the halls of heaven, and be happy with Him forevermore.’

9th Anniversary of my baptism and entry into the Church of God (19 September 2004 – present)

9 years ago, on the Feast of St. Januarius, 19 September 2004, I was received into the Church through the Sacrament of Baptism.

As St. Paul before me, I have been called from the darkness into the light. Once a sinner, God had called me to be one of His children, unworthy as I am.

May my patron saints, St. Peter Canisius and St. Peter my namesake, and St. Michael the Archangel who strengthens me, continue to pray for me, and pray for all the other children of God in this world! That they will especially pray for those who are still on the journey to seek the Lord and in the process to enter the Church of God!

Pray for me always, brethren! And pray for our brethren in need of our love too!
