There's something beautiful about watching a baptism. Watching someone emerge into the water, and come out, renewed in the Lord. Janan was that someone today, and he sure came out, with a big radient smile, I couldn't help but smile through the mass, feeling so overwhelmed that someone was proclaiming Jesus as His Lord.
Presided by Father Peter Collins, Janan's Baptism took place last Friday at St Carthages' Parish. With everyone decked out more formally than usual and both spiritually and mentally prepared to celebrate the baptism and confirmation of Janan, St Carthage's was effervescing with reverential gaiety.
Father Peter Collins reminded Janan and those witnessing the significant moment that what is more significant is how we henceforth live out our covenent with the Lord. The Christian life is not meant to be obscured in solitude, but shared, deepened and strengthened in the faith community. Therefore even as his sponsor, Felicia, strives to mentor Janan in his spiritual maturation, as the community of believers, Cosduans all share in the burden as well as in the joy of Janan's and each other's growth.
