Prayer of the Day: Loving and gracious Father, we thank and praise You for the gift of Holy Baptism. Through water and the Word You cleanse us from our sin, fill us with Your Holy Spirit, and make us Yours forever. May we always treasure and cherish this gift, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
