What does it mean to be "born again"? Father Mark Baron, MIC, teaches us how our soul becomes transformed and infused with God's grace when receiving the Sacrament of Baptism.
We celebrate the Baptism of the Lord on Jan. 8 this year. Jesus's Baptism stresses necessity of the Sacrament in removing original sin.

What exactly are Graces and what are the different kinds? Join Fr. Gabe Cillo, MIC, as he explains what Grace is, as defined by the Catechism, as well as offering explanations on different types of graces.
What makes the Catholic Church different from all other religions of the world is the Sacraments. Baptism impresses the Christian character in the soul, allowing the other sacraments. Baptism is necessary for salvation for all those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed. Fr. Chris Alar explains why this is so, mainly because it confers the first sanctifying grace and the supernatural virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Also, he explains why baptizing infants is actually in the Bible and is something that was done by Christians since the very beginning of the Church.
Join Fr. Chris Alar for this important talk on the Sacraments of the Catholic Church.
Back in 2011, Pope Benedict XVI made Baptism the focus of his Lenten reflection, reminding us that no matter how many decades ago we were baptized, the sacrament still speaks into our lives today and "informs the entire existence of the baptized, imparting divine life and calling for sincere conversion; initiated and supported by Grace, it permits the baptized to reach the adult stature of Christ."
