Meaning of baptism :
The first sacrament one receives to enter into a new way of life in the Christian community, be claimed as one of Christ’s body in a permanent way, and oriented to a life with Christ. By growing in the pattern of Christ’s life, death and resurrection (called the paschal mystery), the reality of sin and the effects of what is termed Original Sin are healed and elevated by the grace of that relationship with Christ. Baptism is the first of three initiation sacraments (Confirmation and Eucharist the other two). The key symbol is water, either poured over the person or the person is immersed in it, and the words prayed: “I baptize you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Other secondary symbols are the baptismal candle and baptismal garment, along with the anointing with sacred Chrism.
