The Start of Something New
With baptism, we heal from the wounds of rejection and claim our identity as the beloved child of the Father. It is the gateway, the start of our new life in Christ!
What do the some of the symbols mean?
• Lilies are a symbol of purity - You receive forgiveness of sin
• Water is a
rich symbol of grace, as it flowed from the pierced side of Jesus -
You receive the grace of justification and sanctification
• The Holy Spirit is commonly represented by a dove - He perfects your virtues (e.g. faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance)
• Crown with alpha and Omega - You are crowned priest, prophet and king
Send this card to remind others of the beauty of baptism, bless them as they begin or continue their unique and precious journey in this new life and share some affirmation and encouragement! We included lots of white space for your personal note ;)
"You are beloved - a precious gift of the Father. Through baptism, you receive the Father’s love poured out as a pure gift, washing you clean and filling your heart. He delights in you and never rejects you. He has crowned you priest, prophet and king, calling you to love others as he has loved you."
