Until, that is, I remember that as
a baptized member of the body of Christ I have sisters and brothers who will drag me toward the light even when I resist — sisters and brothers who will remind me that I have died to the old lies and have put on Christ.
We
baptize them so that they may become
members of the Church,
members of the
Body of Christ, that they may pass over death, overcome the garments
of skin, decay and mortality.
