Sacraments
Baptism
Baptism is the first sacrament of Christian initiation: it washes away sins, rebirths the person as a child of God, and unites them to Christ and his Church. Through Baptism, a person receives an indelible spiritual character, making them permanently configured to Christ and called to live a new life in the Holy Spirit.
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit..." (Matthew 28:19)
