VII. The Grace of Baptism
1274
The Holy Spirit has marked us with the seal of the Lord (“Dominicus
character”) “for the day of redemption.”85 “Baptism
indeed is the seal of eternal life.”86 The faithful Christian who
has “kept the seal” until the end, remaining faithful to the demands
of his Baptism, will be able to depart this life “marked with the sign of
faith,”87 with his baptismal faith, in expectation of the blessed
vision of God – the consummation of faith – and in the hope of resurrection.
