Conformed to Jesus in Living Waters
Prayerfully journey through three Scriptural meditations on the "Prayer over the Waters" of the baptismal liturgy, leading into a time of silent reflection and spiritual conversation, to taste again the joy of our own baptism and quicken our desire to join Christ on mission in the world.
