Summary
Baptism is the epic beginning of our participation in the Paschal Mystery of Christ. Today, I share an example of a Baptism class I recently gave which explains the biblical context behind the sacrament of Baptism, and how this powerful sacrament prepares us to live Christ's mission incarnationally.
This episode was sponsored by Chews Life. Chews Life's mission is to equip all Catholics with Rosaries for life.
Snippet from the Show
