Bptism

Baptism is a Sacrament that cleanses us with original sin

Makes us children of God and heirs of heaven

Actual sins and all the punishment due to them are remitted by Baptism
The person baptized be guilty of any

Baptism is necessary for salvation because without it, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven

The priest is the ordinary minister of Baptism but in case of necessity one who has the use of reason may baptize

Whoever baptizes should put water on the head of the person to be baptize thee in the name of the father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

There are 3 kinds of baptism: Baptism of water, Baptism of desire and Baptism of Blood

Baptism of water is that which is given by pouring water on the head of the person to be baptized, and saying the: I baptize thee in the name of the father, and of the son and of the Spirit

Baptism of desire is ardent to receive baptism and to do all that God has ordained for our salvation.

Baptism of blood is the shedding of one’s blood for the faith of Christ

Baptism of desire or blood is sufficient to produce the effect of the baptism in water, if it is impossible to receive the baptism of water

In Baptism we promise to renounce the devil and all his works and pomps
The name of a saint is given in Baptism in order that the person baptized may imitate his virtues and have him for a protector

Godfathers and godmothers are given in Baptism in order that they may promise in the name of a child, what a child itself would promise if it had the use of reason.

The obligation of the godfather and godmother is to instruct the child in its religious duties, if the parents neglect to do so or die
