1245 The solemn blessing concludes the celebration of Baptism. At the Baptism of newborns the blessing of the mother occupies a special place.
Equipped. You have been equipped within Baptism with the Body of Christ, it is the first holy communion that you have or will receive. The blessing is the sending forth of putting God's grace into action. As a child we don't understand that but that does not change its effectiveness. You are equipped by GOD, get out of the way.

Our readings today reaffirm the gift and grace received within Baptism. We are not blank stones with no purpose, we are part of the Body of Christ, united with Him in building up the Church and making our Father known. Recognize the gift He has given you, know that we are sinners and nothing changes that other than the blood of Jesus. You have been equipped from the time of Your baptism for a special purpose. Just like Saint Matthew, whom God prepared Him for his work and He is doing the same for you. Enjoy your day and know you are loved by Him.
Dear Father, it is a beautiful morning, knowing You are here, You are here all day and never leave our side. May we recognize how we have been equipped in that first holy communion of baptism. Prayers for the men going on retreat today, watch over them and enflame the gifts they have already been given for your glory. Thank You for another day to be able to listen with an open and generous heart. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
