In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with the profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My Immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my Father, and Lord, my guardian angel,

and tocede for me.

Lord, as we focus our attention on you,

we want to talk to you about our common Christian calling or vocation,

that we all have the same vocation,

which is sort of the common foundation,

and all of us are called to a specific way of following Jesus.

What is the genesis, what is the root of this vocation? It is when we were,

some maybe as adults, but probably most of us as little infants, that if the water was cold,

it was probably a traumatic experience that we forgot when water was

cold water was poured on our heads why do I think of these things because we priests are trying

to warm up the water in the winter so the baby doesn't have to suffer so much and we forget

and the baby you know just to suffer so much and we forget. And the baby, you know, just jumps and, you know,

he was smiling a second ago.

And once he's brought into the church,

into the mystical body of Christ, he's crying like there's no tomorrow

not because he's in the mystical body,

but because the water is quite cold.
