"It is important that children feel good. If they are hungry, breastfeed them, so that they do not cry. If they are too hot, change them... But that they feel comfortable, because today they are in charge and we have to serve them with the Sacrament, with prayers. Now we begin this ceremony all together. Today, each of you, parents, and the Church itself give the greatest, greatest gift: the gift of Faith to the children. Let us go forward, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". These were the words spoken yesterday by Pope Francis as he baptized a number of children during Mass at the Vatican. "Let us continue this ceremony of the Baptism of your children. We ask the Lord that they may grow in Faith as a true humanity, in the joy of the family”.
