THURSDAY – Station 9: Baptism
Prepare to meditate on the forgiveness of sins that comes to us through the Sacrament of Baptism by saying and meditating on Psalm 119:41.
(7x) “May your unfailing love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise.” (Ps. 119: 41)
Pause at this Station and spend time meditating on the forgiveness of sins that comes through the sacrifice of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit through the means of grace.
Say and pray “the Jesus Prayer”.
The Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner (THE sinner).”
Remember your Baptism. Drown the Old Man in Confession. Rejoice in the New Man coming forth.
Meditate on the following Scriptures:
Romans 6:1-4
Titus 3:3-7
Matthew 28:18-20
Mark 16:l5-16
If time allows and for further meditation, one can use Luther’s Meaning to the Sacrament of Baptism in the Small Catechism
