In the waters of baptism we are introduced to the only living God who can tell us who we are and who can transform us into who we will become. I ntroductions often affect the way we proceed to knowing another person. I still remember the day I met Kathy. I still remember the day I met many of my friends. Introductions have a profound impact on the way a relationship develops.
Life goes on.
From the day I met Kathy I have continued to pack more and more into the meaning and significance of her name. Yet, she is a mystery. T oday is Confirmation Day. Today is not a day of introduction. Today does not really change a thing with respect to the young people s relationship to God.
