Baptism is the first Sacrament we receive. It makes us members of the Church, forgives our sins, and gives us new life in Christ.
The effects of Baptism are the forgiveness of sins, becoming a new creature, becoming a member of the Church, forming bonds of Christian unity, and imprinting an indelible mark on the soul.
Jesus said that when people come together to pray using His name, He is actually with them listening, helping, and praying with them too.
The Bible is the story of God’s people from Creation through the beginning of the Church.
The essential features of divine love that shape married love are fidelity, self-sacrifice, and generativity.
