The Sacrament ofBaptism – Reflection
In the Sacraments we meet Jesus.Baptism is a Sacrament. Sacraments use
familiar, everyday things, (like water, oil, bread, movement) to make
real for us the presence ofJesus. Each day we use words and signs to
communicate with one another. God also communicates with us in
the sacraments through words and signs. The signs used in Baptism
are water, oil, white garment and light. When someone is baptised,
that person is joyfully made a child of God the Father, a brother or
sister ofChrist, and a member ofthe people ofGod, the Church. Let us renew
our Baptismal promised and commitments in faith.
