What's the Big Deal about Baptism?

In this episode, host Genevieve Anatalio explores the Sacrament of Baptism, adding depth to the familiar practice and helping families deepen their appreciation for the graces God gives through it.  Anatalio is joined by Katie Albright, Director of Catechesis for the Diocese of Allentown, to clarify what Baptism really does, what the faithful tend to underestimate about it, and ways parents and families can increase their appreciation for it. They emphasize the profound impact Baptism has not only on the person receiving the Sacrament, but on the entire family--and the entire Church. The conversation illuminates many important points about Baptism but only scratches the surface of everything there is to learn. Albright has also shared some resources for diving deeper into this Sacrament and the Catholic Faith in general. BooksLove Unveiled, by Edward Sri (Love Unveiled: The Symbolon Book God: What Every Catholic Should Know, by Elizabeth Klein (God) Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know, by Michael Barber (Salvation) Jesus the Bridegroom, by Brant Pitre (Jesus the Bridegroom)Digital MediaFORMED: This site has many videos on Baptism and countless other topics (formed.org).Podcast on Catholic Saints: St. John the Baptist (St. John the Baptist - Catholic Saints - Apple Podcasts) Podcast on Catholic Saints: St. Josemaria Escriva (St. Josemaria Escriva - Catholic Saints - Apple Podcasts)Want to suggest a topic for the podcast?
