This week’s Wednesday word is Baptism. Baptism is the first sacrament in our catholic life. Baptism is when you enter God’s family. Jesus got baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan’s river. When Jesus got his head out of the water the Holy Spirit appeared. In John 3:5 Jesus said ‘ No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the spirit’.
This week’s wednesday word is all about BAPTISM!!!!!
In the gospel reading, it is talking about how Jesus was baptised in the river Jordan and he was baptised by John the baptist. The first sacrament in our religion is baptism.
This weeks gospel is baptism .
The gospel is about when Jesus gets baptised and when John the Baptist baptises him .
When we are born the first sacrament we have is our baptism.
This weeks Wednesday word is Baptism. Baptism is when you are anointed with the Oil of Chrism by the Priest and welcomed into the Kingdom of God. In this Gospel, people thought that John the Baptist was the Messiah, but “I coming, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals; he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire”. John the Baptist was talking about Jesus. When Jesus was being Baptised, the gates of heaven opened and a voice said,“You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.”
Another word for Baptism is Christening. Here we can see that ‘Christ’ is in the name itself.
Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This day marks the end of the Christmas season.
I think John the Baptist drew attention away from himself and towards Jesus because he wanted to show that Jesus is the Son of God. John was humble although he performed an important task. He baptised Jesus so the Holy Spirit could come down on him. Jesus was God even before the Holy Spirit came down on him so this was just to show to the people that he was God.
This week’s Wednesday word is JOY! Joy is an emotion that you feel when you are probably happy about something. We can show joy by not making people worried but still we can do many other things to help.

Jesus’ disciples showed their joy in the bible because they got told that Jesus resurrected from the dead. Jesus showed joy because he was happy to help the poor, he didn’t ignore God by not doing what he asked but Jesus agreed to do it and that’s what we should always do:listen to God and not ignoring him.
