"God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has freed you from sin, given you a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and welcomed you into his holy people."

"Lewis, you have become a new creation
and have clothed yourself in Christ.
See in this white garment
the outward sign
of your Christian dignity..."

"Parents and godparents,
this light is entrusted to you
to be kept burning brightly.
This child of yours
has been enlightened by Christ.
He is to walk always as a
child of the light.
May he keep the flame of faith
alive in his heart..."
