Parable of the Sower - Is your heart like fertile ground? How will your faith and love of God grow?

St. Paul tells the Romans (7:15-25) that he doesn't do what he wants to do and even does what he doesn't want to! We all struggle to be good and do what is good. How can we fight against sin?

Baptism of Jesus (Saddleback Kids)

...Since the time of early Christianity, Baptism has been the rite of initiation into the Christian community of the Church. In Baptism, the “one Spirit” makes us members of the Body of Christ and of “one another” (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no. 1267). St. John Paul II describes the result of Baptism as a “mystical unity” between Christ and his disciples, and the disciples with one another, like “branches of a single vine.” This reflects
