baptism

"The 24 March was the celebration of a martyr child, Saint Simeon. Above all however it was First Vespers for the feast of the Annunciation. Many years later it gave me joy to associate the remembrance of my baptism with the Lords 'Ecce Venio' [Behold I come]. This combination has given me a great sense of trust. The Ecce Venio of the heart of Jesus protected and blessed my entry into the Christian life. Our Lord will surely not blame me if I see in this coincidence a particular sign of His providence in view of my present vocation as a priest-victim of the Sacred Heart. I always dedicated a special devotion to the remembrance of my baptism." (NHV I/1r f.)
