“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. (CCC1213)
Baptism is the rite that welcomes us into the Catholic faith. The water of Baptism is the sign of the newly spiritual life infused into us and the grace of God that cleanses us. A loving Father in heaven embraces us as his beloved children in which whom He wants to be pleased.
