I baptized her. And I felt like asking her, “What have I
done? What does it mean?” That was a question that came to me often, not
because I felt less than certain I had done something that did mean something,
but because no matter how much I thought and read and prayed, I felt outside
the mystery of it.
Was there a sense of mystery to your
baptism, either in the lead up or in the ritual itself? Or did it all feel very
mundane? Pray about your experience.
