How do the baptism symbols reflect the Catholic beliefs?
Catholic AnswerBaptism begins with the sign of the cross on the individual's forehead; followed by reading from Sacred Scripture. Then the individual is exorcised and anointed with the oil of catechumens. The individual is then either immersed three times (in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) or water is poured over his forehead three times along with the baptismal formula. Then the individual is anointed with the Sacred Chrism. He is then given a white garment and a candle. .(all of the explanations below are extracted from The Catechism, Modern Catholic Dictionary by John Hardon, S.J., and A Catholic Dictionary by Donald Attwater).The Cross: The cross was primarily an instrument of torture, it was on the Cross that Our Blessed Savior suffered and died to our redemption. It stands for whatever pain or endurance a Christian willing accepts and undergoes in order to be joined with Christ and co-operate in the salvation of souls. As Our Blessed Lord, Himself said, "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me" (from St. Matthew's Gospel 16:24). It is thus both a sign of our salvation and a sign of our future life, if we are to be a follower of Our Blessed Lord..Oil of Catechumens: It signifies that one is preparing for baptism..Water: A symbol of exterior and interior purity (obviously of cleansing or washing). The triple immersion or pouring is for the Trinity..Sacred Chrism: Sacred Chrism signifies the fullness and diffusion of grace: in other words, it signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit to the newly baptized, who has become a Christian, that is, one "anointed" by the Holy Spirit and incorporated into Christ who is anointed priest, prophet, and king. (Cf. Rite of Baptism of Children 62)..White garment: signifies the white robe which was formerly worn by the newly baptized ever day of the Easter Octave. It has always signified that the new baptized was a new creature in Christ, freshly washed, and without sin..Candle: Candles, light, have been used since the days of the catacombs. They are an emblem of God, the giver of life, and enlightment. Being pure, they represent Christ's spotless body, the flame a figure of the Divine Nature. And the newly baptized must now carry this living light of Our Lord throughout his life out into the world.
