PHOTO: Margaret’s Latin Baptism

Thanks for praying for Margaret. She was born on Oct 22 (St John Paul II) and baptized on Oct 31 (Vigil of All Saints)!

Saint John Paul II issued a document asking parents to baptize infants quickly “within weeks of birth.” Learn more about Saint John Paul II on not delaying baptism by clicking here.

Here’s the “House of Marshall” after the Baptism (thanks to Paul Hunker for this photo):

Baptism of Margaret Marshall

L-R Marshall Family: Mary Claire, Elizabeth, Rose, Joy and Baby Margaret, Becket, Jude, Blaise, Taylor, Gabriel. Priest: Father Tom Longua

Margaret is officially a little saint – filled with the Holy Trinity and sanctifying grace. And check out this photo of Margaret 2 days after birth with this shadow of a cross on her forehead. Pretty cool. I don’t how this happened but it’s a good reminder that the baptized are marked with the sign of the cross:

Thanks for praying for Margaret! She’s daddy’s little pearl.
