What John the Baptist and later Jesus Disciples were doing when they baptizing believers was creating a vessel clean and undefiled by the stain of Original sin, a temple without a spot for God to live in!  

In Catholic Churches throughout the world, the remembrance of this process is being practiced in the Mass every day!

When you walk into Mass the first think a Catholic Christian does is dip their fingers into the Holy Water and make the sign of the cross in remembrance of their baptism. 

Shortly after the Mass(Church) starts they(Catholics) are asked to reflect on any way they have offended God and ask for forgiveness.  In the same way, John the Baptist asked people to confess their sins as they were being Baptized!  What John the Baptist was doing was preparing the people to receive Christ, and to be a pure vessel for him to live in, in spirit.  The Mass is divinely designed to make Catholic Christians a vessel without the stain of sin in the same manner,  in order to receive Jesus body and blood in Communion(Eucharist). 

Communion with God!
As we learned yesterday the more and more we live in the Spirit by not only taking communion but practicing living in God's character we are living in the Truth.    The more and more we live in the Truth the more and more we become one with him who is Truth, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!


I love experiencing Christ spirits in the many Christian faiths, however, my Catholic Christian Faith is very rich in the Truth as well.

Matthew 4:4 (The New American Bible)

Not on bread alone is man to live but on every utterance from the mouth of God!

1 Corinthians 3 :16 (The New American Bible)

Are you not aware that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  If anyone destroys God's temple God will destroy him.  For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple!

  Prayer for Healing In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit and by the blood and name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Lord we ask that you forgive us for any sins we may have committed known, or unknown, as we forgive those who have committed sin against us! Lord Jesus, we rebuke, renounce, and reject satan and all of his evil works! Jesus, you only are our Lord and savior, We ask in your name(Jesus) and by your blood that you heal us Amen(let it be so)!

Maturing in the Body of Christ!

  The Body of Christ and spiritual maturity! “Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are ac

Prayer for Unity in the Body of Christ! In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and by the name and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We pray for unity in the Body of Christ! Dear Lord your word says as the Body of Christ we are made up of many different parts, and that together we are one body, with you are Lord Jesus Christ as the head! Help us realize that even though we have many different missions and Christian leaders, that we can work together to fulfill your great commission of going out in all the world and baptizing in your name to bring people to you!  Help us realize that our differences are gifts that you have given each of us, so we may be more relatable to those who don’t know you yet and to accomplish the task you have given each of us together and individually! Help us realize that your word of God says it is your peace and your love that is the glue that binds us together, give us your grace to abide in that peace and love! Through y
