Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.  Through Baptisim we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughers of God, we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through the water in the word. - Catechism of the Catholic Church
