The Sacrament of Baptism

Friends, through the seven sacraments of the Church, Jesus is present, ministering to his people, healing, nourishing, and anointing them.

These seven holy sacraments are not just symbols of Christ—they are encounters with him.

This encounter with Christ begins with Baptism.

The Greek verb “baptizo” is powerful. It means literally “to plunge.”

We speak of taking the plunge when we move from the ordinary to the extraordinary, and our lives change irrevocably.

The baptized person is changed by being immersed into the life of Christ, becoming a child of God.
