    • Bautismo
      Bautismo
    • “Baptism not only purifies from all sins, but also makes the neophyte ‘a new creature,’ an adopted son of God, who has become a ‘partaker of the divine nature,’ member of Christ and co-heir with him, and a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Most Holy Trinity gives the baptized sanctifying grace, the grace of justification:

      • enabling them to believe in God, to hope in him and to love him through the theological virtues;
      • giving them the power to live and act under the prompting of the Holy Spirit through the gifts of the Holy Spirit;
      • allowing them to grow in goodness through the moral virtues. Thus the whole organism of the Christian’s supernatural life has its roots in Baptism.”

      Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1265-1266

       

    • "El Bautismo no solamente purifica de todos los pecados, hace también del neófito "una nueva creación", un hijo adoptivo de Dios, que ha sido hecho "partícipe de la naturaleza divina", miembro de Cristo, coheredero con Él y templo del Espíritu Santo. La Santísima Trinidad da al bautizado la gracia santificante, la gracia de la justificación que: 

      • le hace capaz de creer en Dios, de esperar en Él y de amarlo mediante las virtudes teologales;
      • le concede poder vivir y obrar bajo la moción del Espíritu Santo mediante los dones del Espíritu Santo;
      • le permite crecer en el bien mediante las virtudes morales. Así todo el organismo de la vida sobrenatural del cristiano tiene su raíz en el santo Bautismo."
