The Holy Spirit and the Waters of Baptism
At the beginning of creation, God’s Spirit hovered over the waters, dark and deep. This same Spirit came down “as a dove” upon Jesus as he emerged from the waters of the Jordan river (Matthew 3:16). Just as the dove of Genesis 8:11 signals new life in God’s creation, so too does the Spirit’s descent “as a dove” onto Jesus announce that Jesus accepts his mission to make of all humankind a new creation destined for eternal life. Th Spirit is now invoked to descend upon the waters of baptism to make them holy. This solid bronze plaque – created and realized by a master artist in Germany is a baptism and confirmation gift indeed worthy of the mystery being celebrated: initiation through baptism, confirmation and first communion into the body of Christ and into Christ’s mission.
