Every Wednesday, a diverse group
of Catholic bloggers accept the invitation of Allison Gingras and Elizabeth Riordan to re-post their favorite articles
on It’s "Worth Revisiting”.
We thank them for their on-going sponsorship and encouragement. Do yourself a favor - go there now (and every
Wednesday). You will be blessed.
During the rest of each
week be sure to visit Allison at Reconciled To You and
Elizabeth at Theology Is A Verb.
I might be a month early but wanted to share this post now:
St Agatha and I "Have A Good Thing Going"

More than 20 years ago, my former pastor asked us if we all knew the dates of our Baptism. No one did. “You should,” he exclaimed, “it was the most important day of your life. You should celebrate it every year.”
Until he asked, I had never given much thought to the day of my baptism save for being vaguely thankful my parents had had me baptized. Father’s suggestion made sense to me. I made a mental note to look it up and follow the good priest’s suggestion. Unfortunately, like many of my “good intentions” this one got lost in the ebb and flow of life’s daily challenges.
Fifteen years later while meditating on the first Luminous Mystery of the Rosary, the Baptism of our Lord in the Jordan, Father’s suggestion from years ago suddenly jumped into my head. This time I resolved to follow it.
