COMMENTARY: Every time we witness a baptism, we should be reminded that God wants us and has taken some pains to make us into the sort of creatures that can be close to him.
‘This Gospel teaches us that we all need to enter the house of the Father and participate in his joy, in the feast of mercy and brotherhood,’ the Holy Father said of the Parable of the Prodigal Son on May 11.
Baptism is important to celebrate because ‘it’s the date of our rebirth as children of God,’ Francis said, and he gave those present ‘the homework’ of finding the date of theirs during the coming week.
