Sunday Gospel Message - September 6, 2009 - 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
When a child is baptized, the minister of the
Sacrament touches the ears and mouth of the child to
symbolize that the child’s ears may always be open to
receive God’s word and that the child’s mouth may be ready
to proclaim God’s word. When the Lord comes into our
lives, His loving hands touch our spiritual senses. We begin
to see the Lord and His way; we hear Him speaking to us
and guiding us; we walk in His ways; we are able to speak
His word. Our God comes to save us and to make us strong
in our spiritual life.
