discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, baptism is the Church's way of
celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. Christ Himself ordered His disciples to preach the
Gospel to all nations and to baptize those who accept the message of the Gospel. In His encounter
with Nicodemus (John 3:1-21), Christ made it clear that baptism was necessary for salvation:
"Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God." For Catholics, the sacrament is not a mere formality; it is the
very mark of a Christian, because it brings us into new life in Christ.
