Marigold's Baptism

 May 24th - Traditional Rite of Baptism

 To live in the midst of the world

without wishing its pleasures;

to be a member of each family,

yet belonging to none;

to share all sufferings,

to penetrate all secrets,

to heal all wounds,

to go from men to God

and offer Him their prayers,

to return from God to men

to bring pardon and hope;

to have a heart of fire for charity

and a heart of bronze for chastity;

to teach and to pardon,

console and bless always --

what a glorious life!

And it is yours,

O Priest of Jesus Christ

Following the Baptism I received the Churching of Women blessing but I guess there isn't a picture of it.
