I. What is This Sacrament Called?

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Baptism is God’s most
beautiful and magnificent gift….We call it gift, grace, anointing,
enlightenment, garment of immortality, bath of rebirth, seal, and most precious
gift. It is called gift because it is conferred on those who bring nothing of
their own; grace since it is given even to the guilty; Baptism because sin is
buried in the water; anointing for it is priestly and royal as are those who
are anointed; enlightenment because it radiates light; clothing since it veils
our shame; bath because it washes; and seal as it is our guard and the sign of
God’s Lordship.¹⁰
