Baptism
"You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:11
The Christian journey begins with the Sacrament of Baptism. Where God leaves an indelible (permanent) mark on the Christian's soul, freeing them from original sin and welcoming them as members of Christ's Body and His Church.
Anyone who has not already been baptized can receive the Sacrament of Baptism in the Catholic Church.
