Our parish has joined a Catholic website called FORMED. This website is loaded with articles, videos, eBooks, and much more—all of which are thoroughly Catholic. You simply go to this website: https://formed.org (This is a secure site, which is why there is an “s” in the address). Once there, there will be a spot to enter our parish access code, which is 6MMWKC. We have unlimited access to everything on the site. I hope that you take advantage of this site, and pray that it will be ben-eficial to you. Fr. Patrick CONTRIBUTIONS Sunday, July 25

Rediscovering Your Catholic Faith From the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church SECTION TWO: The Seven Sacraments of the Church Section One: The Sacramental Economy CHAPTER ONE: The Sacraments of Christian Initiation 251. How is Christian initiation brought about? Christian initiation is accomplished by means of the sacra-ments which establish the foundations of Christians life. The Sacrament of Baptism his Resurrection he gave to 252. What names are given to the first sacrament of initia-tion? This sacrament is primarily call Baptism because of the central rite with which it is celebrated. To baptize means to “immerse” in water. The one who is baptized is immersed into the death of Christ and rises with him as a “new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This sacrament is also called the “bath of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5); and is called “enlightenment” because the baptized becomes “a son of light” (Ephesians 5:8). 253. How is Baptism prefigured in the Old Testament? In the Old Covenant Baptism was prefigured in various ways: water, seen as source of life and of death; in the Ark of Noah, which saved by means of water; In the passing through the Red Sea, which liberated Israel from Egyptian slavery; in the crossing of the Jordan River, that brought Israel into the prom-ised land which is the image of eternal life. 254. Who brought to fulfillment those prefiguration? All the Old Covenant prefigurations find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. At the beginning of his public life Jesus had himself baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan. On the cross, blood and water, signs of Baptism and the Eucharist, flowed from his pierced side. After his Resurrection he gave to his Apostles this mission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). 255. Starting when and to whom has the Church adminis-tered Baptism? From the day of Pentecost, the Church has administered Bap-tism to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. 256. In what does the essential rite of Baptism consist? The essential rite of this sacrament consists in immersing the candidate in water or pouring water over his or her head while invoking the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 257. Who can receive Baptism? Every person not yet baptized is able to receive Baptism.
