We pray through the Octave of Easter and offer our day to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, united to the Mass across the world. We reflect on an ancient Jerusalem catechesis that calls baptism a real sharing in Christ’s death and Resurrection, not only forgiveness but a new life that changes how we live.

• offering prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass 
• baptism as a symbol of Christ’s Passion, burial, and rising 
• three immersions as the sign of Christ’s three days in the tomb 
• night and day imagery for moving from blindness to light 
• “the saving water” as both tomb and mother, death and birth at once 
• baptism as more than forgiveness, including the gift of the Holy Spirit and union with Christ’s sufferings 
• Alleluia images of the newly baptized in white robes before the Lamb 
• prayer for unity among the reborn, faith of the heart and deeds of homage
