One of the two principal effects of baptism is the purification from sins. Prefigured in the Old Testament, baptism found its fulfillment in Jesus, who gave his apostles this mission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Mt 28:19-20) The grace of baptism
This action symbolizes the person’s “burial into Christ’s death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as ‘a new creature.’” the baptizing (from the Greek to “plunge” or “immerse”) of the catechumen. This sacrament is named after its central rite, i.e. In baptism, the faithful are born anew by confirmation, the faithful are strengthened and in the Eucharist, the faithful are nourished by the food of eternal life.
This is especially true in the case of the sacraments of Christian initiation – baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist.
Jesus Christ has made it possible for us to share in the divine nature by conforming to him through the grace of the Holy Spirit imparted to us through the sacraments.
