info_outlineWater is an essential element here on Earth - capable of death and life.
- Death: the destructive force of a flood, or the cleansing power to remove filth
- Life: crucial for physical life, and capable of peace & serenity in our souls

Today, what sin and/or temptation needs to be destroyed by the grace of Baptism? What virtues and abilities need to be nourished by the Lord's saving power that comes to us through our Baptism?
