Baptism is the first Sacrament of Initiation into the Church. In Baptism, we become special children of God. As Christians and children of God, we are called to live a new life, a life free of sins. We are called to live a life like that of Jesus. Jesus is loving, kind, and helpful, so must we also. Just like Jesus, we also forgive those who have hurt us and love even our enemies. When we were baptized, our parents and godparents made promises for us. They, in our behalf, expressed our faith in God. They promised to do away with evil. The many symbols and rituals during Baptism will make us fully understand and appreciate the importance of the Sacrament of Baptism. Parts of Baptismal Rites The priest makes the Sign of the Cross  on the forehead of the child. This means that he is welcoming the child into the Christian family. The priest pours water  on the child's head saying "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Just like every one of us, Jesus belongs to a family. His foster father is Joseph and His mother is Mary. Their family is known as the Holy family. They lived in Nazareth. The Holy family is the model of unity, understanding, love and respect. Joseph was a carpenter. He was responsible father. He took care of his family. He supported and protected his family. He was always with his family. Mary was a very simple and humble woman. She was God-loving, God-fearing, and very obedient to God. She was a very good wife to Joseph. She was a very loving mother to Jesus. She took care of Joseph and Jesus. Jesus was a very obedient son. He obeyed what His parents told Him to do. He was also a helpful son. He helped His parents in the house. He loved His mother and father very much.  Jesus teaches us how to be good members of our family. He teaches us to be obedient to our parents. He teaches us to love and respect everyone in the family.

“I will never forget the quarrel between my parents when I was in the first grade. I was sitting in my pajamas, listening to them argue---I can’t even remember what it was about. And I remember thinking, “Are Mom and Dad going to get divorce?” Now, this was back in the early 1950s, when divorce was rare; it was hardly even talked about back then. If I had the fear at that age, what must the average first grader today feel? Kids today are surrounded by divorce….Few things can harden the heart of a child more than the divorce of his or her parents. Your kids need a mom and dad who are committed to each other.” (By Dennis and Barbara Rainey) Let me share with you a subscriber’s beautiful testimony: I have had the same fear when I was in grade school. My father was the breadwinner in the family. My mother stays home to take care of all five of us. They often argue because of Daddy’s coming home late. And more often than not, he’s drunk coming from friends get-together partie

Matter is sometimes related to light and electromagnetic radiation." 5 STATES OF MATTER States of Matter  are the different forms in which matter exists.  Be Condenstates Solid Liquid Gases Plasma  is found in stars and between planets, stars, and systems of every galaxy  PROPERTIES OF MATTER Physical Properties - The measurement of mass and other characteristics that can be seen without changing how that object looks are its physical properties.

In his monastery garden he followed carefully for many years the results of the hybridization of plants.
