A few weeks ago I did my first baptism by submersion at the request of the parents of the girl being baptized. I was excited, but I never expected it would be such a powerful experience for me and for all those present. The godmother was in tears by the end of the ceremony.
I can’t wait to do it again!
In submersion, the symbolism of water becomes much more pronounced, showing in a more dramatic way what is happening in the soul at baptism, the washing away of sin.
