“Why Baptizing Your Baby Is the Most Important Thing You Can Do”

Why does the Catholic Church baptize babies rather than wait until
they are older and capable of choosing this sacrament for
themselves? Salvation requires faith, and it can be challenging to
understand how an infant accepts the truths of the Catholic Faith
at the moment of Baptism. Today Fr. Mike uses an example from
Mark’s Gospel to help us understand how the profession of faith by
our parents at the moment of our Baptism prepares us to receive the
gift of salvation later in our lives.
