Reuben Amorim would have created a team that would be difficult to play against for Manchester United!
We won’t be a team that will perform this season and go 2 steps backwards like always anymore!
Next season would have been so great for us in the league especially!
He would have created a consistent team and not a team that runs today and goes back to default settings!
It was just a matter of time
He was so close!!
But another manager can still do it ! If we get it right!
A Mormon saw an Orthodox priest baptizing sick infants in a hospital and responded with contempt:
“If your theology sees a sick child and immediately goes to emergency baptism, your theology is the emergency.”
No. What is broken here is not the priest’s theology. It is the inability to recognize Christian love when it is poured out in haste over a vulnerable child.
Christ said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me” (Matthew 19:14). He did not say to keep them at a distance until they could explain themselves. He took children seriously. So does the ancient Church.
From the beginning, God dealt not only with isolated individuals, but with households and covenant families. The children of Israel were marked before they could understand the mark. “Every man child among you shall be circumcised” (Genesis 17:10). In the New Testament, baptism is spoken of as the new entrance into Christ: “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27).
And when the Gospel came to whole homes, Scripture says they were baptized. Lydia “was baptized, and her household…” (Acts 16:15). The jailer “was baptized, he and all his, straightway” (Acts 16:33). Saint Paul says, “I baptized also the household of Stephanas” (1 Corinthians 1:16).
The ancient Church did not invent this out of fear. It received baptism as gift, as washing, as entrance, as mercy. Saint Peter says, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you… for the promise is unto you, and to your children” (Acts 2:38-39).
So why would a priest rush to a hospital bed? Because sometimes love does not have time for procession, candles, choir, and ceremony. Sometimes the Church comes quickly, quietly, and trembling, with water and prayer, because a child is sick and Christ is merciful.
Emergency baptism is not panic. It is pastoral urgency.
The priest is not saying the child is abandoned by God without water. He is saying that if Christ gave the Church a sacrament of life, then no faithful shepherd treats it as optional when death may be near.
The historic Christian faith does not mock a priest standing beside sick children. It recognizes a shepherd doing what shepherds do.
He brings the little ones to Christ.
