Monday in the Fourth Week of Easter

We pray through Easter with a daily offering and a reading from St Basil the Great on how baptism joins water and the Holy Spirit to bring us from sin’s death into new life. We reflect on the Spirit’s gifts in baptism, the peace brought like a dove, and the hope of a future harvest beyond the first fruits we taste now. • opening prayers, glory and daily offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • baptism as covenant for eternal life • water as a sign of death and burial to sin • the Holy Spirit as the pledge of life and rebirth • triple immersion and invocation of the Trinity • baptism as a pledge from a clear conscience, not mere outward washing • adoption as sons and daughters who call God Father • first fruits now and the promise of a full harvest • the Spirit descending like a dove and the Ark of Noah as a figure of the Church If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publications now available on Amazon.com.
