Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism:

Jesus told his disciples (that's us!):

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

- Mt 28: 19-28
