Baptism – Naming – Welcome party and Blessing for the Child

The baptism, naming, welcome party and blessing of the child with Father Reding from Honora Zen Monastery. To be baptized means to be immersed in death. To be buried, raised and revived. We humans pass from the death of sin to the life of God.

Baptism is the gateway to life

Baptism is the bath of rebirth. It causes those to be baptized to be taken into communion with the Father, the saints and the Logos and consecrated forever to God.

Whom the Father in heaven calls into life, who knows why, what for, he has to give himself up, he lives towards death. He calls his people out to sea throughout the ages, he will escort them well, his word will bring them home. Baptized with the Spirit and water, united out of slavery,

God called his people, so he meant us. We were born again when the saint came to us, taking upon himself the earth as a servant of sin. Consecrated with him to be the Son of God through spirit and water, with him we are buried, we always rise. Bound in blood, dead for death, freed from guilt and living only for God.

Whoever accepts this baptism and goes his own way will perish in death that he will rise from death. He will give his life, he makes his own bread, he dies and other lives, he survives death. baptism renewal I am baptized and dedicated to God the seal of the Trinity by power and the mark will never depart from me.

God gave me his spirit, I immersed in Christ and raised in his kingdom to praise him forever. I am now reborn from water and the Holy Spirit (Logos). God, who is called eternal love, chose me to be a child. I may call him "My father," he made me his heir. I am invited by him to his grace's banquet. The Holy One, the Lord has chosen me to live for him henceforth. I want to serve him in the world and bear witness for him. So I no longer live alone, I can be connected to him.

I bear his name; I will remain his forever. Amen
