Concerning the Sacraments of the Church and how they act as a channel of Grace in our lives, this talk on Baptism is the twenty sixth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study and first broadcast under the title 'Life is Worth Living'. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
Baptism is the sacrament that incorporates us into the Church. Water is a material sign of what is communicated in the soul, and it signifies a washing from our sins. We are born with the capacity to become a child of God, but its development comes from the Holy Spirit. Baptism remits original sin, which we inherited from Adam, and confers certain virtues into the soul.
