100 Things to Always Remember…. and One Thing to Never

Forget

New journeys await you. Decisions lie ahead, wondering…. what you will do; where you will go;

how you will choose when the choices are yours.

Remember that good decisions come back to bless you, over and over again. Work for the ability to choose

wisely , to prosper, to succeed. Listen with your heart as well as your head, to the glimmers of truth that

provide advice and inspiration. And let those truths take you to beautiful places.

Touch the sky, and in your reach,

believe, achieve and aspire.

I hope your tomorrows take you to the summit of your goals, and your joys take you even higher.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Some say tomato—and some say tomahto—you know the old song. What do you say when you arrive at church and see a font prepared, a baby in the wings, the paschal candle burning? Well, maybe you will say that “we’re having a baptism today,” or maybe you say “we are having a christening.” The proper term is baptism, since that is the name of the sacrament. But the persistent use of “christening” in our culture, probably from due to the influence of the Episcopal Church, is interesting. Baptism, an ancient word, is from the Greek meaning to dip or to dunk. Christening is an Old English word that describes perfectly well that more than getting splashed with water, the person being baptized is being “Christ-ed.” No matter what you call it, there’s always water involved, and then an anointing with chrism—fragrant olive oil consecrated as a sign of Christ’s presence—poured upon the brow as we say, “As Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet, and King, so may you live always as a member of his body, sharing everlasting life.” So, in being Christ-ed, you are conformed to His image, your life is expected to be a retelling of His life in miniature and you—even though you may be squirming or sleeping—are commissioned to be a priest, a prophet, a king. This means that you are called to be one who worships, you are called to speak the truth, you are called to shape the world and exercise right judgment. That is the deepest treasure of our tradition, and every time you gather to celebrate a baptism, you renew your vows precisely so that you can be more “Christ-ed.” No matter what vocabulary you assign to the liturgy, the key is transformation of the human person in the community of the Body of Christ.
