Baptism

Baptism marks a beginning: a ritual of water and words that welcomes a person into faith, family, and community. Quotes in this occasion gather around the meanings people attach to the moment—cleansing and renewal, naming and belonging, vows spoken on behalf of a child, or an adult’s deliberate step into belief. You’ll find lines suited to invitations, programs, and cards, as well as reflections for godparents, parents, and pastors preparing a blessing. Some quotations lean theological, drawing on scripture and sacrament; others are literary and intimate, attentive to memory, lineage, and the quiet courage of commitment. Together they honor the tenderness of the ceremony and the lifelong story it begins.
