THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION

How is Christian initiation brought about?
Christian initiation is accomplished by means of the sacraments which establish the foundations of Christian life. The faithful born anew by Baptism are strengthened by Confirmation and are then nourished by the Eucharist
What names are given to the first sacrament of initiation?

This sacrament is primarily called Baptism because the central rite with which it is celebrated. To baptise means to ‘immerse’ in water. The one who is baptised is immersed into the death of Christ and rises with him as a ‘new creature’( Cor. 5:17). This sacrament is also called the ’bath of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit’ (Titus 3:5) ; and it is called ‘enlightenment’ because the baptised becomes ‘a son of light’ (Eph. 5: 8). Catechism of the Catholic Church
