Baptism Pre Constantine VI
VII Conclusion- Practical Advise Read Bish Schneider’s 3-fold baptism
Who baptized you? (in conversation with Diane Montagna)
Bsp Schneider , “Now this is a very nice story. I was already baptized and was one year old when Blessed Fr. Oleksiy can to celebrate Mass at our home. He celebrated the Mass secretly, and my mother put me in the cradle to the side of where Father was celebrating. I became an altar boy at one year old! There were no priests in Kyrgyzstan, and only very rarely would a priest come secretly. My mother could not leave me without baptism- it was impossible for her. So, one week after my birth, she baptized me herself because she knew her catechism well, and she knew it was possible.
Your family was very well formed in the faith (goal of my website in general and Garden of Graces in particular)
Bsp Schneider continues, “As I said earlier, they read the catechism even during forced labor. They were always repeating basic contents of their good German catechism and they had written down the most important Catholic truths.
To baptize me, my mother took a prayer book, in which the baptismal formula was present. She spoke the words as she poured that water over me, and when she finished, she looked up at my father and asked, “Did I do this correctly?” And my father said, “I don’t know.” And then she said, “Well, I have to repeat it.” And she repeated the entire ceremony. Again, she poured the water over me, pronouncing the words, and then she felt reassured that it had been properly. I was baptized Antonius after St. Anthony of Padua. Six months later, a Jesuit priest, Fr. Antonius Seskevicius, came from Lithuania and told all the German mothers to bring the babies who had not been baptized by a priest because he wanted to make sure we were baptized. My mother brought me to him and I was “baptized” for the third time. So, I have no doubt about the validity of my baptism!
Much to comment on: solid faith of the parents in spite of persecution, the ardent desire to share the very best to their son, the compassion of Holy Mother Church, the thoroughness of the priest “re-baptizing”, the handing on of their personal narratio within the larger narratio of the economy of salvation, cf Catechism. Note the adjective “good” catechism. Underling my emphasis.
Sad no intention of baptizing grandchildren. Doesn’t take long sin makes one stupid.
Not that people love evil, rather bored with goodness. Overwhelming amount of pleasure available to us. Removes the fast, feast is meh. Children stuffed. Weep when they are not hungry for good things.
Presumption on what the Lord wants us to. Cyprian Carthage 250 not their idea. More in align under persecution.
Want creates demand. Begin in ones wealth to lack His grace, those things will be removed.
Baptism Date connection made by loving families. Older children have concrete memories of younger siblings. Prepare for baptism anniversary with fasting.
Birthday important entered into humanity. Similarly, with the anniversary of baptism. Look and research what are the dates. Pass this onto children. 2 days before offer up fasting to celebrate it.
