Promise is made to you and to your children

“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2: 38-39) 

Our Lord comes to us with His gift “for the forgiveness of our sins.” Because we are created not to be alone, but to be united with others, and first of all to be family members, so “the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off.” In these days no one should feel alone, “far off” or separated—we are called to be His children: “every one of us.”

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
