“In the early days of the church, the word used to describe baptism was ‘illumination,’ going back to what St. Paul tells us when he instructs us to put on Christ; that the waters of baptism illuminate us. This begs the question of all of us who are baptized in and illuminated by Christ: When you look out at the world, what do you see, what do you hear, and what do you feel?” – Father Mark
The illumination that comes from Christ at our baptism is an essential part of who we are as Christians, providing the corrective to the secular thinking that comes from our day-to-day living. Learn more about it in Father Mark’s latest podcast.
