32 Baptism and the Trinity

The Trinity is central to Christian belief. When Jesus left the apostles to ascend to heaven, he told them to: 
'baptise everyone in the name of the 
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'

It is these same words that are used to baptise Christians today. Baptism is the start of our journey to God. Through the Eucharist, Jesus gives himself to us to help us on our journey to God. At Confirmation, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to renew us and strengthen us on our journey.
