When we are baptised, we become Christians.
The word "Christian" means that we are united in Jesus Christ and we are identified as such.
More than just being in union with Jesus Christ, we become children of God whom we now call Father.
And then we must also remember that we are baptised in the Holy Spirit, who is the Lord and Giver of life.
As we prepare for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, it is the Holy Spirit who gives us the strength and the courage to face the troubles of the world.
Let us pray that the Holy Spirit will fill our hearts with His peace so that the troubles of this world will break our faith but build our trust in God.
Let us live and move in the Holy Spirit and let the Holy Spirit be the Advocate of our lives.
