What impact do my Baptismal vows have on my everyday life?This Easter season, spend some time each week pondering the questions below to discern how your ordinary world might better reflect the Baptismal promises you renewed on Easter Sunday.

Week One: Do you renounce Satan? Where does Satan work on your life and your heart? Where does temptation meet you? Food? Social media? Anger? What can you do to break the cycle and reject Satan’s hold?

Week Two: And all his works?Satan’s work is to divide. Where in your life is division rampant? What issues do you approach in an all-or-nothing way, leading to judgment and acrimony? What can you do to bridge division when you encounter it in daily life?

Week Three: And all his empty show?Which of Satan’s promises are hardest for you to resist? Comfort, power, admiration, prestige, luxury, self-righteousness? When do you find yourself unwilling to sacrifice those things in order to see God’s kingdom of justice made real on earth? What stands in the way of truly rejecting these empty promises?

Week Four: Do you believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth? If God made all things, then we must treat the created world with reverence. List three ways you can treat God’s creation with greater reverence and better stewardship.

Week Five: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered death and was buried, rose again from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of the Father?Because of Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection, everyone on earth is invited to the heavenly banquet. What does this mean for your interactions with those on the margins of your ordinary life: philosophical/political opponents, those of other cultures or religions? How can you better honor them as bearers of God’s image?

Week Six: Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?The Spirit moves every person in a unique way. Do you invite the Spirit to dwell in you, or are you afraid? Where in your life do you need the Spirit’s guidance, discernment, or healing?

Week Seven: Do you believe in the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?Belief manifests in action. What gifts can you offer to the Church? What prevents you from giving of your time? What can you do to change that?Excerpts from the English translation of The Roman Missal © 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation (ICEL). All rights reserved.
