declaring your splendor all day long. Psalm 71:8
Open my lips, Lord,
And my mouth will declare Your praise. Psalm 51:15

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Baptism
How can water do such great things? For without God’s word the water is plain water and no Baptism. But with the word of God it is a Baptism, that is, a life-giving water, rich in grace, and a washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit, as St. Paul says in Titus, chapter three.

Baptism
How can water do such great things? “He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying.” (Titus 3:5–8)
