How many of us can remember the date of our baptism? This
may be difficult because it means hunting through our parents records and
looking for an elusive certificate. The certificate can reveal to us something
important. That our parents considered it important enough for us to be
baptised into the person of Christ. We are called to be immersed in a
relationship which not only allows to surrender to the wonder of God but live a
life which is grace filled. We are born into being so that our lives may reflect
God’s glory working ever creatively within us. It places us at the heart of God’s
creative plan.
Baptism is not just an entry card into eternal life, it is a
call to live that eternal life and to be transformed by God. We are created in
God’s image and likeness. As such we can celebrate the life he has entrusted to
us. It calls us to become coheirs with Christ in his creative and loving plan.
No longer are we alone among the universe but are invited to participate with
that creative life and love. We are called to be people transformed by God’s
loving mercy.
