In the Catholic church, a baptism is the first sacrament that one receives as an introduction into their faith. Mateo, almost nine months, was blessed with the holy spirit on one the of the hottest days of this year. Although, the temperature hit well over a hundred degrees that day I’m sure he was as cool as a cucumber because he received blessings numerous times with sacred oils and holy water. Also, his sweet little white ensamble surely bounced that heat right off of him. No matter how hot the inside of St. Linus’ Church got that morning, Mateo’s parents were overjoyed with gratitude to watch their second child also grow in the Catholic faith.
Congratulations Mateo! You sure are a cutie-pa-tootie! More from Mateo’s Baptism.

I don’t think Mateo’s too sure about all this oily stuff they are dabbing on his head. Maybe he’s thinking, ” Are they basting me, because I sure could cook like a chicken in this weather.”

I’m sure he was thinking, “I thought I was done?” After getting dipped, he continued to get more blessings. .jpg "mb6")
