The life of Christian discipleship begins at Baptism. Through the life-saving waters, a new Christian is freed from sin, shares in the death and Resurrection of Christ, and is made a member of the Body of Christ, the Church. But with this gift from God comes important responsibilities. This short booklet explores the Catholic understanding of the Sacrament of Baptism and the baptized Christian's important role in sharing the light of Christ. The questions at the end of each short chapter will help readers reflect upon what it means to be a Christian disciple in the world today, living lives of justice, charity, and love.

A true treasure! Catechists for those preparing for sacraments, leaders of study groups, and individuals will find that Mary Ehle's Anointed for Discipleship is appropriate for both neophytes and experienced Catholics. Her use of magisterial and Scriptural sources provides depth, and her questions for reflection and discussion guide the reader to practical yet spiritual understanding.

—Mary Patricia Storms

Pastoral associate for adult faith formation, Our Lady of the Presentation Parish, Lee’s Summit, MO


In her booklet Anointed for Discipleship: The Meaning of Baptism for Our Christian Life, Mary A. Ehle explains the meaning of baptismal symbols as they relate to our daily life. She reveals how Christ's death and resurrection makes our daily mission as Christians a realization of God’s love for us. The discussion questions encourage the reader to think about their baptismal promises and their responsibilities to Christian discipleship. This book is a path for strengthening baptismal spirituality and fully participating in the baptismal mission to which we are called.

—Valerie Lee-Jeter Music director for St. Vincent de Paul Parish, Philadelphia


This soul-provoking booklet provides much needed depth to the often-used phrase 'our baptismal call.' This exploration of Baptism as a sacrament and a rite lays a solid foundation for why Baptism requires 'a willingness to enact God’s justice and love in the world.

—Matt Cato, Director of the Office of Life, Justice & Peace Campaign for Human Development Archdiocese of Portland, OR


This resource gives great insight as to the meaning of Baptism. It also reminds Catholics and those who will be baptized what it means to be a child of God and what our responsibility is as a baptized Catholic.

—Suzanne Rafa, Parishioner, St. Joan of Arc Marlton, NJ


This resource is an excellent reminder of how to continue living out our baptismal promises. It is one you will read and reread many times. You will want to share it with family members and parishioners! It is a book worthy of sharing.

—Karen Siciliano, Second-grade catechist and liturgical minister St. Andrew Parish, Chicago, IL
