Clergy Thoughts “As we, this past week, leave once again our visitations to the Infant Jesus by the Wise Men, we rush forward to Our Lord's Baptism. In today's life it would seem logical that His Baptism would be right now, soon after His Birth. But — it's 30 years later and by John in the River Jordan. This great moment gave the voice of God announcing to the World the Divinity of Jesus, A people who walked in darkness has seen a great light” Rev. Dcn David Croucher 

ANIMA CHRISTI – Please check the first page of the Hymn Book for the prayer.
