Then they told what had happened on the

road, and how he had been made known to

them in the breaking of the bread. While

they were talking about this, Jesus himself

stood among them and said to them, “Peace

be with you.” They were startled and

terrified, and thought that they were seeing a

ghost. He said to them, “Why are you

frightened, and why do doubts arise in your

hearts? (Luke 24: 35-48)

Pope Francis - General Audience

April 11, 2018 Dear brothers and sisters:

In the joy of this Easter season, we now begin a new

cycle of catecheses on the sacrament of Baptism, by

which we receive the forgiveness of sin and are

reborn to new and eternal life in Christ. Through the

waters of Baptism, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, we

are immersed in the saving mystery of the Lord’s

death and resurrection, and become, in Christ,

adoptive sons and daughters of God our Father.

Renewed in the image of Christ, the new Adam, we

are called to acknowledge his Lordship in our lives

and to share in the mission of the Church, his Body,

for the transformation of our world. Baptism is the

door to the other sacraments, whereby we grow in the

life of grace until we come at last to our true

homeland in heaven. Our Christian life, as a journey

of faith and union with the Lord, is sustained by

prayer and by our daily efforts to grow in the

imitation of Christ. During this Easter season, may we

come to appreciate ever more fully the unmerited gift

we received on the day of our Baptism, and resolve to

live faithfully the new life we have received in Christ.
