Theology Day Online
Baptism: Into the Life of God
Saint Augustine said that the waters of baptism “touch the body and cleanse the heart.” Come join us as we reflect on how our embodied experience of baptism has initiated us into the shared love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our daily experiences of joy and of tragedy call us back to the water and more deeply into the life of the Trinity. Gain insight into how our experience of life together -- from first to last breath -- is a revelation of God’s presence among us. If you wish, you may bring a baptismal photo or memento (yours or someone else’s) to assist our reflection.
