Baptismal Vows (Partial)
We ask you, Father, with your Son to send the Holy Spirit upon the water of this font. May all who are buried with Christ in the death of Baptism rise also with him to newness of life. (We ask this) through Christ our Lord.
Celebrant: Praise to you, almighty God and Father, for you have created water to cleanse and to give life.
All:Blessed be God.
Celebrant: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, the Father’s only Son, for you offered yourself on the cross, that in the blood and water flowing from your side, and through your death and resurrection, the Church might be born.
All:Blessed be God.
Celebrant: Praise to you, God the Holy Spirit, for you anointed Christ at his baptism in the waters of Jordan, so that we might all be baptized in you.
All:Blessed be God.
Celebrant: Come to, Lord, Father of all, and make holy this water which you have created, so that all who are baptised in it may be washed clean of sin and be born again to live as your children.
All: Hear us, Lord.
Celebrant: Make this water holy, Lord, so that all who are baptised in it may be washed clean of sin and be born again to live as your children.
All:Hear us, Lord.
The celebrant touches the water with his right hand and continues:
Celebrant: Lord, make holy this water which you have created, so that all those whom you have chosen may be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit, and may take their place among your holy people.
All:Hear us, Lord.
If the baptismal water has already been blessed, the celebrant omits the invocation ‘Come to us, Lord’ and those that follow it, and says:
Celebrant: You called your child N. to this cleansing water that he (she) may share in the faith of your Church and eternal life. By the mystery of this consecrated water lead him (her) to a new and spiritual birth.
