This week’s lesson on the sacrament of Baptism highlights several signs and symbols which were likely present at the Baptisms of your children. Having these available for your lesson time will bring it to life like nothing else will.
Yes, a white garment symbolizes the purity of a newly Baptized soul, but handling the actual tiny white gown that YOU wore on that day, and seeing the actual candles that YOUR godfather lit to signify the light of Christ newly present in YOUR soul, and viewing a photo of the priest pouring holy water on YOUR head will bring the relevance of this lesson to a whole new level!
Please, please, please take a little preparation time to pull out these mementos of your children’s Baptisms before you begin this lesson. You’ll be glad you did!
