TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning gentlemen. One of my meditations this week touched on the gift of Baptism. And as I was reflecting upon it, it occurred to me- our relationship with our Creator. He has given us so much; t’s so gratuitous. He gave us our soul- which we didn’t deserve- our very life, our very being, the very potential of spending eternity with Him.
He gave us redemption when our race fell. He gave us individually our baptisms, so that we have the hope and potential to participate in that supernatural life with Him again. And He has given us the Sacrament of Confession so that when we die, when we empty our soul of that divine life of that grace, we have the ability to gain it all over again.
And I thought to myself how many times in my life I have had recourse to that sacrament and was born yet again over and over and over again. And there our Lord stands waiting and forgiving and merciful to receive us, yet once again.
So, I think about our relationship with God reflecting on these gratuitous gifts and how I have returned for those gifts really nothing but ingratitude and disappointment, and yet there He is, ready to forgive over and over again.
So, as we try to grow it in gratitude during this Lent, I hope that sharing this reflection, this insight video with you has been helpful. God bless.
