Baptism
Baptism is the doorway to our relationship with Jesus Christ. This is often forgotten by those baptized as infants. When the water was poured upon our own heads, the barrier of original sin was removed and God himself stood in its place. It is a sacred duty, then, for parents to pass on that personal encounter with Jesus to their children. This natural parent-child discipleship almost always determines the lens by which a child will experience Jesus for the rest of their lives.
​
In baptism for adults, the priest will invite you into the baptismal font for full immersion. As he submerges you into the water he will say, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” In baptism for infants, the priest or deacon will poor water over the infant and say the same words.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Matthew 28:19
