The waters of Baptism make us part of the new

covenant in Christ. But the bishops’ pastoral

letter on stewardship reminds us that “there is a

fundamental obligation arising from the

Sacrament of Baptism...that people place their

gifts, their resources—their selves—at God’s

service in and through the Church.”
