So, what does Baptism say to us about the God we believe in? Three things jump readily to mind.Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, as a group of three Sacraments, are called the “Sacraments of Initiation.” A Sacrament is a visible sign of God’s presence, God’s activity in our lives, in the Church and in our world. But it goes beyond that! Sacraments not only show us what God is like and what God dreams for us; Sacraments also make that happen!
God is the giver of all life, human and divine. … You are the first teachers of your child in the ways of faith. May you also be the best of teachers, bearing witness to that faith in all you say and do.
