Novena for Baptism

Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Baptism!
We know from the teachings of the Church that baptism is very important for our salvation. Jesus instituted the sacrament of baptism to wash us clean from the Original Sin of Adam and Eve.
Choosing to be baptized or to have your child baptized is a very important commitment. By choosing baptism, we are choosing to live a Christian life and to follow the laws of the Church. By choosing baptism for our child, we are choosing to raise that child to live as a faithful Christian.
We should be aware of the great importance of the sacrament of baptism. We should ask for God’s help in preparing to receive the sacrament of baptism or in preparing for our child to receive the sacrament.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Baptism that God may help all who are preparing to receive the sacrament to prepare thoroughly and to have a deep appreciation for the significance of this sacrament.
Why Pray the Novena for Baptism?
You can pray the Novena for Baptism if you are preparing to receive the sacrament of baptism yourself. Or you can pray the Novena for Baptism if your child will soon be receiving the sacrament.
