Excerpt from the book Meditations for all the Days of the Year by Father Bronchain - After having meditated on the baptism of the Savior, let us consider the effects of the one we have received: 1. It clothes us with Jesus like a garment. 2. It obliges us to imitate His virtues. — Let us examine whether these are our sincere desires to resemble the God-Man, through a life of humility, mortification, resignation, entirely in conformity with His teaching and His examples. “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27)
