good info!

Question:
Can I person babtize themself?
No. All sacraments must be given by another, since this is the mode by which Christ gave himself in the Eucharist and the pattern seen in all of the other sacraments when they are initiated in Scripture. In the case of baptism of blood or baptism of desire, the Church (in the case of desire) and the killer (in the case of blood) supplies the act. In baptism of desire, the person does not baptize themselves, but accepts the offer supplied by the Church for those who desire baptism, but cannot receive baptism of water.

Question:
Can I person babtize themself?
I thought of this during the video about the man from Saudi Arabia.

The plea and sorrow and pure yearning of that lady makes the soul weep. Wow! God Bless them. Carol, you're right. We of the Catholic faith and of American citizenship don't realize how absolutely beautiful we have it. It really puts things in its proper context.

I pray for all Christians living in lands where they are so brutally persecuted, and I ask them to pray for me, and for all Christians living in the fattened West.
I read Revelation 18 again yesterday, and though I believe it makes reference primarily to pagan Rome, it still always gives me a chill.
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "

Thank you for this post! I am so moved. We, especially those of us born into the Catholic faith, have not appreciated our faith...and Our Lady surely weeps with Our Lord.
