This Sunday Elias was baptized. Some of our family and friends were there to witness this blessed event. My brother and his very pregnant wife were Elias's godparents. I am so greatful that they were able to make it, even though their baby is due in just a few short weeks.
It was a very beautiful day for little Elias to be brought into the family of God. One of the most memorable things about having a baby baptized is the wonderful smell of the chrism oil. I couldn't help but breath a joyful sigh everytime I got a waft of it. To know that the Holy Spirit dwells so close to you in this newly baptized Christian is so mysterious. I only wish I had more time to meditate and dwell upon such awesome realities.
I am so greatful to the priest who baptized little Elias. After the ceremony he made it a point to tell us that he will be praying for Elias and for us, that we would be good and holy parents. That meant a lot to me. I can use all the extra prayers I can get, especially those of a good and holy priest.
